Property and planning PR and Public
Consultation
Specialists in stakeholder engagement and public affairs
The localism bill has placed community
consultation and stakeholder engagement
at the heart of the planning process. Landowners, developers, local
authorities, retailers, social landlords and estate managers are
all having to 'step up' in this respect
Our experienced planning consultation team has been involved in
complex planning applications right across the UK. From large
supermarket planning applications to residential applications, via
renewable energy sources and rural master planning exercises, we
understand the planning process. And we understand local
communities and how to engage with relevant stakeholders.
We build public relations campaigns supporting property
developments and planning applications that connect with
stakeholders and demonstrate community involvement to give the
greatest likelihood of acheiving planning consent.
Our public affairs team has in-depth
connections with local and central government giving our
communications campaigns national reach as well as regional
relevance.
"Bell Pottinger North has worked with us on a number of projects and demonstrated a clear understanding of planning procedures. The team's planning experience has played an integral role in us achieving successful applications and their approach has been well received by both our property team and the people we engage with."
James Armstrong, property and development communications manager for Waitrose
