On the basis of the findings of our extensive research, we develop a detailed strategy for how best to promote and consult on the proposals. This is then discussed with the client and relevant members of a project team before a programme and budget is agreed.

For most medium and large-scale developments the strategy includes:

• Meeting with the Local Authority to explain and agree on the consultation approach

• Creating a name and brand for the development

• Setting up and hosting a project website with feedback facilities

• Writing and producing promotion and consultation materials, including an initial leaflet/brochure

• Organising an exhibition/consultation event (including guest list, mailing invitations, adverts in local papers, posters, drafting and production of exhibition boards and feedback boards/material)

• Where appropriate, organising workshops to look at specific aspects of the development

• Drafting a press release to announce the proposals and follow-up press work, including responding to letters to the newspaper where considered necessary/appropriate

• Establishing direct contact with specific stakeholders, local ward councillors and others, as appropriate

• Detailed monitoring of local papers, websites, local authority minutes and agendas, etc

• Preparing a Statement of Community Engagement to accompany the planning application
