Planning and Construction Public Relations

Planning and Public Consultation

The UK planning process is subject to almost constant change. So we make it our business to stay ahead of the game and provide strategic counsel on communications surrounding planning applications and associated matters.

Many clients involve us from the start of the process, from site acquisition, through finalisation of the development brief and planning application, to public and stakeholder consultation and community support and, if necessary, through to the public inquiry.

In doing so we regularly work as as part of a strategic development team including lawyers, surveyors and planners.

Throughout we offer clients accurate advice (and sometimes blunt advice) , constant accessibility and guarantees of confidentiality, together with in depth industry experience, location-specific intelligence and cutting-edge communications - including extensive use of the Web.

Construction and building materials

Construction is still the largest single industry in the UK and we have have delivered effective public relations campaigns across many sub sectors of the industry including:

• heavyside materials producers
• brick manufacturers
• windows and door distributors
• specialist contractors/suppliers

Trade media campaigns, retail promotions, channel communications and sales engagement programmes are our stock in trade.

For many clients, we overlay a tactically-driven campaign with thought leadership and brand management programmes as part of our added value.

In every instance, we are able to demonstrate tangible results, linked directly to the client's business objectives. Our agreed programme of activity is continually reviewed to ensure a positive return on investment and our planning and consultation work means that are used to operating as part of a strategic team of lawyers, surveyors, planners, builders and communications experts.
