Local opposition to new developments from wind farms to housing estates can be passionate, vocal, unflagging and litigious.

Well-organised local complainents can result in delays cosing £’000s of investment and lasting damage to a company’s reputation.

If disputes drag on, arguments become polarised, attitudes harden, and postitions are entrenched.

We develop properly researched and audited programmes that clearly identify and address the nub of the problem(s), based on the principles of active listening and informed response.

We have advised clients nationwide on projects as diverse as breakfast clubs at local schools and developing a sensory garden for the severely handicapped.

You may never see eye-to-eye with all your detractors but you can create greater ownership in the wider community, and perhaps even collective pride in the development.
