We facilitated an online training workshop for @Wintech_Group. The session opened with a section covering planning in theory followed by a more in-depth exploration of the planning application process. An enjoyable and interactive session with engaging activities. #MemberTraining

Yesterday, we met at the new office for a #TeamDay and workshop with @const_marketing. It was a great day of learning, collaboration, and strengthening our strategies for the future. We’re excited to continue growing together in our new space!

Last Thursday, the @DAC_Planning had a lovely day off at @Jordans_Farm in Wakes Colne, Essex. We didn’t just enjoy getting out of the office and connecting with nature, but also took part in some volunteer work, digging a hole in the base of a dry ghost pond and planting trees!

The DAC Planning team is excited to share we have a new office! We are now located in Hop House, Colchester Road, West Bergholt, Colchester, CO6 3TJ. We look forward to continuing our work from this new location and welcoming our clients and colleagues to our fresh space!
