Its liquidity was dangerously concentrated in a £3.4m debtor book (82% of current assets) against just £469k of cash and £2.2m of short-term liabilities, with cash having collapsed from a £1.59m peak in 2021. The prognosis now rests with the administrators, and creditor recoveries will depend heavily on how much of that debtor book proves genuinely collectible.","website":"http://www.dlpplanning.co.uk","links":{"page":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/ltd/dlp-planning","people":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/dlp-planning/people","filing_history":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/dlp-planning/filing-history","companies_house":"https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02604863","financials":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/dlp-planning/financial","gazette":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/dlp-planning/gazette","control":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/dlp-planning/control","charges":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/dlp-planning/charges","ai_analysis":"https://www.companiesintheuk.co.uk/company/dlp-planning/analysis"},"source":"CompaniesInTheUK, from Companies House, The Gazette and other public registers (see /support/about).
