Any significant new development is likely to attract keen local interest.   An essential tool these days for effective communications and constructive ongoing public relations is a high-quality website that is easy to navigate, read and understand.

We help clients create a website that explains the development proposals and provides a platform for local people and other stakeholders to see accurate information, get answers to questions they may have about a project and ask the project team questions.

The precise content of a consultation website depends on the nature of each project but could embrace some or all of the following elements:

• Strategic plans with timelines
• Location maps
• Illustrations of the proposed development for which consent is being sought
• Local authority planning policies pertaining to the development area and helpful weblinks
• Profiles and track-record of the development and consultancy teams
• Community consultation event details and how to people can get involved
• News section to update residents as the project evolves (with an alert mechanism so people know when new information has been added to the consultation website)
• Frequently asked questions, giving instant responses to common queries
• Section for people to submit questions
• Supporters section (where appropriate)
• If appropriate, a social media platform to allow discussion

The community consultation team – Iain Vellacott and Althea Taylor-Salmon – project manage the development of the consultation website from start to finish, creating the site plan and brand, writing the content and steering the build; often to quite tight deadlines and budgets.  Once the site is live, we manage the content, ensuring that residents have the latest information available.
