  • 2015 Marked Another Milestone in the History of DPDS Consulting As the Group Celebrates Its 30Th Year of Operation
    ReviewTHE DPDS CONSULTING GROUP NEWSLETTER I ISSUE 46 2015 marked another milestone in the history of DPDS Consulting as the Group celebrates its 30th year of operation. This edition of Review looks at a number of landmark projects that DPDS has worked on over this time. Working alongside our clients, together we have achieved successful outcomes by maximising development potential, achieving high standards of design and remaining sensitive to the environment. The Wichelstowe project was just a dream when DPDS were instructed by the landowners almost 28 years ago to provide planning advice and promote the land, often referred to as “The Front Garden”, for development. In March 2000 DPDS secured a positive EiP Panel Report recommending allocation of the site in the Wiltshire Structure Plan 2011 and in July 2002, DPDS submitted an outline planning application to Swindon Borough Council for the development for 4,500 homes, employment land, retail and community uses, primary and secondary schools plus community open spaces. The application was approved in 2004 and, in spite of several unsuccessful High Court challenges, work got underway by 2006. Today, over 500 families have moved into the first of the new homes at East Wichel and construction of the main district centre food store has taken place and is occupied by Waitrose. Construction is now set to commence later in 2015/16 on the central section of the site at Middle Wichel. 1 Established in 1985 by current Chairman, Les Durrant, DPDS Consulting Group is a leading professional practice providing expert advice in the fields of Town and Country Planning, Architecture, Masterplanning and Urban Design, Environmental Impact Assessment, Landscape Architecture and Development.

    HSE Health & Safety Executive A study of the provision of health and safety information in the annual reports of the top UK companies Prepared by System Concepts Ltd for the Health and Safety Executive CONTRACT RESEARCH REPORT 446/2002 HSE Health & Safety Executive A study of the provision of health and safety information in the annual reports of the top UK companies Laura Peebles, Ansgar Kupper and Tanya Heasman System Concepts Ltd 2 Savoy Court Strand London WC2R 0EZ This report details the findings of a research project to investigate the quality and quantity of health and safety information found in the annual reports of the top UK companies. At present, publicly listed companies are not legally required to include health and safety matters in their annual reports. The current Health and Safety Commission (HSC) Strategy Statement, however, contains an action point which focuses on public reporting of health and safety issues by larger companies. The aim is to promote the reporting of health and safety information in company annual reports and to provide guidance that would allow reporting of such information to a common standard. To assist the HSC with this strategy, System Concepts were commissioned by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to undertake an investigation of the provision of health and safety information in company annual reports. The study comprised a series of steps. The main objectives of the study were: i) To determine the current level of reporting of health and safety issues in annual reports of the top UK companies ii) To determine the quality of health and safety information reported.
