Many Councils are currently preparing Local Development Frameworks that will eventually replace the existing Local Plan or Unitary Development Plan. This presents an opportunity for a landowner to get involved in the consultation process and try and get their land included as a future development site.

We can help coordinate your promotion efforts to make sure that the Council is provided with persuasive documentation about your site and the right groups are lobbied at the right time.

We monitor the status of Local Development Frameworks throughout the country and are well placed to guide you through the administrative and political process.

Many Council’s are close to adopting their Frameworks which will close the door on consultation for 5+ years – so despite the current economic gloom there isn’t a better time to get that valuable site allocation.

 

Types of Consultation

There are generally four key documents that you need to be aware of and try to influence by submitting timely representations:

  1. Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA)
  2. Site Allocations Development Plan Document (DPD)
  3. Local Development Framework Core Strategy (LDF)
  4. Housing Need Survey / Five Year Supply

 

Building Support

Political and community consultation forms a key part of the land promotion process. Where appropriate, we can offer a full range of public relation services including stakeholder liaison and media relations. Our in-house design team can also provide bespoke web consultation solutions that can be deployed quickly.
