Project Description
Regeneration
DPP has been providing strategic planning advice to English Cities Fund for the Salford Central Masterplan since 2006 and has been instrumental in evolving the original vision into a viable and deliverable planning permission. DPP originally submitted a hybrid (EIA) planning application for the wider Salford Central Masterplan area which comprised some 3.3 million sq.ft of office, commercial, retail and residential floorspace, across the 17 hectare city centre regeneration site.
Located on the banks of the River Irwell, New Bailey forms ‘Zone B’ of the Salford Central Masterplan which comprises a high quality corporate centre. The offices are all high grade and are supported by ancillary commercial uses an attractive public realm.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Achievements
- Following the approval of the original outline consent, DPP have gone on to secure reserved matters and full consent for One New Bailey (a BREEAM Excellent Grade A office completed in 2016), Two New Bailey Square (a BREEAM Excellent Grade A office completed in 2020), Three New Bailey (the home of the new HMRC office, completed in 2021), Four New Bailey (a BREEAM Excellent Grade A office due for completion in 2023, for the new BT headquarters); and the New Bailey Multi Storey Car Park.
