Community engagement is now a key part of any planning application or site promotion. Longman Planning Consultancy has specific expertise in relation to consultation and community engagement and can provide guidance from the conception of a scheme.
Depending on the scale of the project a consultation strategy can be developed. Guidance can be provided on the most appropriate level and form of consultation for the type of development proposed. This might range from simple discussions with neighbours to public exhibitions and focus groups.
The outcomes of community engagement can be analysed and guidance can be provided in relation to adjusting the proposed scheme if necessary. A statement of community involvement can then be prepared to submit alongside other supporting documents relating to any planning application.
Services include:
• Advice regarding the scope and scale of consultation required.
• Preparation of consultation strategies
• Co-ordination of public exhibitions, focus groups and public meetings
• Analysis of outcomes of consultation events
• Guidance relating to the impact of consultation on the proposed scheme
• Preparation of Statements of Community Involvement
