DPP Planning

DPP Planning, a leading independent national planning consultancy, has promoted a rising star from its Newcastle office to further strengthen the business and promote talent from within.

Lauren Hunter, who has been promoted from Planner to Senior Planner, joined DPP in January 2017 on a work placement while at Newcastle University, before being appointed as Assistant Planner in June 2017.

During the last six years, Lauren has worked across a broad spectrum of projects from residential developments and schools to university projects such as the Citadels in Carlisle and many of DPP’s Durham University schemes. Lauren is currently working on several RAF sites, including in Kinloss, Scotland.

Lauren said: “One of the things that attracted me to DPP was its commitment to personal and professional development, which I have benefited from. I have been involved in some high quality and important projects, which has had the added benefit of helping my career and to achieve my second promotion in six years.”

Gareth Hooper, DPP’s chief executive, said: “We believe in rewarding talent at DPP, and this is reflected by the promotion of Lauren in our Newcastle office.

“Lauren has demonstrated strong professional progress during the last year and have made a significant contribution to the company since she started in 2017.

“Unlocking new talent and overseeing professional development is key to the success of our business and how we support our clients.

“Everyone at DPP wishes Lauren continued success.”
