We provide communications and PR assistance on development projects at all stages of the planning and construction process.

You could be:

• Promoting a site for allocation in a district council’s Local Plan
• Preparing to submit a planning application for the first time
• Submitting a revised application following refusal of previous proposals
• Submitting a ‘reserved matters’ application after ‘outline’ approval
• Preparing for determination by a council’s Planning Committee
• Preparing to begin construction once you have consent

In all these situations there will be people who you ought to be consulting with – whether it’s simply explaining your proposals to local councillors, or hearing the views of local residents before you submit a planning application for the first (or second) time.

We can organise and manage this process for you from start to finish:
