As part of its continued growth, Planning & Design Practice is pleased to announce some new team members.
Comprising RTPI Chartered town planners, RIBA Chartered Architects and architectural assistants, plus heritage specialists, Planning & Design Practice have over 20 years of experience offering a comprehensive range of services, specialising in planning, architecture, heritage, and rural development.
Joining our Architectural team, David Innes is an Architectural Technologist that studied at Nottingham Trent University. Before joining us here at PDP, David worked at a small conservation-focused practice based in Nottingham’s historic Lace Market, and it was here that David nurtured his passion for architectural conservation.
David has primarily spent his 8 years of experience working on heritage projects, focusing on the preservation and restoration of our built heritage, whilst also ensuring that these same buildings are updated sensitively for the modern world.
Joining us here as our new Office Manager, Suzanne Searston has had a varied career in administration across a number of sectors, perfect training for the herding of cats that constitutes her new role with us! After working in purchasing for an engineering company for 16 years, Suzanne fancied a complete change and ran two cafes in Derby for 12 years, working alongside her husband. This was followed by 4 years as an Office Manager prior to joining PDP.


Richard Pigott, Director at Planning & Design said:
“New colleagues add to the air of excitement here at PDP, and we are pleased to welcome David and Suzanne to the team. Both are fantastic additions to the team with much to contribute to assisting our clients, from both the public and private sectors in bringing their projects to life.”
