No1 For Community Consultation

Community consultation has never been more important!

We live in an era where the views of individuals and the local community really matter.

It’s why we are consulted by the Government and local authorities on so many issues before important decisions are taken.

Nowhere are the feelings of a local community more important than when it comes to planning applications.

It’s why planning authorities across the country are constantly asking the question: “What do you think?”

We are the country’s leading experts when it comes to community consultation.

We have spearheaded scores of community consultations for everything from housing developments to oil terminals and landfill sites to destination shopping centres.

The No1 lesson we have learned is that effective public engagement can make the difference between a developer getting planning permission and being turned down.

We take the strain out of community consultation liaising with opinion formers, decision makers, community groups and, of course, statutory consultees.

The tools of our trade include exhibitions, site tours, websites, news distribution, social media outreach, newsletters, community briefings, brochures, presentations and, of course, media management.

The earlier we are called in, the better the outcome. By working alongside your planning team we can take the heat out of controversial applications, often turning opposition into support.

Our range of services includes, campaign planning, messaging, political audits, stakeholder engagement, media management and crisis communications.

If you want to get planning permission for your next development, we are the Only people to speak to.
