Securing Planning Permission & Community Consultations

Securing Planning Permission and Delivering Effective Community Consultations

Navigating the planning system and community consultations can be complex, time-consuming, and poses commercial risks. We provide strategic communications support that helps developers and their advisors secure planning permission efficiently whilst building trust and managing reputational risk.

With decades of experience across the built environment, we deliver tailored solutions that:

Engage stakeholders early and effectively: We identify and build relationships with key influencers, communities, and decision-makers before, during, and after the planning process.

Anticipate challenges, unlock opportunities: Our insight-led approach helps you mitigate risks, shape perceptions, and maximise the potential of your development.

Deliver compliant, credible consultations: We design and manage community engagement programmes that meet and surpass statutory requirements and foster genuine dialogue.

Control the narrative: Through integrated public affairs, media relations, and social media strategy, we ensure your development is positioned clearly, confidently, and credibly, combatting the risk of spurious rumours spreading in local communities.

Supporting planning and development for Lost Shore Surf Resort

Andy Hadden, founder of Lost Shore Surf Resort

The Perceptive team genuinely feel like an extension of our own and their guidance, insight and their public affairs expertise have been invaluable before, during and after the construction of Lost Shore Surf Resort.

“Being able to bring the community along on our journey as well as cultivating support from political stakeholders was hugely important in ensuring our two planning applications were passed at the first attempt. This saved a huge amount of time and money, enabling us to deliver the project much more efficiently.”
