Stakeholder Engagement
Projects benefit from public consultation and the involvement of local stakeholders at key stages throughout their development for a number of reasons. Effective engagement with the community ensures that local knowledge and perspectives are appreciated and integrated in the design process. Consultation provides an opportunity for local communities and interest groups to communicate their objectives and aspirations for the site. It can also be used by developers or the local authority to explain development options to the local community. Engaging and working with communities is now widely recognised as demonstrating best practice in regeneration.
Effective community consultation can be achieved through a variety of techniques such as workshops, exhibitions, leaflets and briefings. Involving the local community in the development and planning process, can help smooth the path of the proposals through the planning system.
Our experience includes facilitating meetings, workshops and training events, bringing together a wide range of technical experts and diverse interest groups. Maslen Environmental has prepared public consultation road shows and publicity materials for a wide range of projects providing clients with the benefit of smoother project development, and proposals which are more acceptable at a local level.
Why us?
Our experience includes facilitating meetings, workshops and training events, bringing together a wide range of technical experts and diverse interest groups and we have have prepared public consultation roadshows and publicity materials for a wide range of projects. Our clients have benefted from smoother project development, and proposals which are more acceptable locally.
Most recently, having been commissioned to carry out a landscape and visual assessment for an urban wind turbine development, we were appointed to prepare a public consultation roadshow to inform the public of the proposal before a planning application was submitted. The content, layout and graphic design of all consultation material was carried out in house. Other public exhibitions and consultations have related to a visitors centre and to nature conservation, public recreation, habitat creation and waste management projects.
