Parish Council and local resident liaison
Having the support of Parish Councils and local residents can make a significant difference as planning applications go through the planning process. Here at 310 Planning, we can support your application by attending Parish Council meetings and presenting your scheme, looking to secure support. We also organise drop in presentations for local residents that create genuine engagement where questions can be asked and answers given.

Social media campaigns
Social media platforms have become an everyday part of the planning process with local residents using them as an opportunity to voice opinion on applications. Far from being a ‘necessary evil’ these platforms actually present an opportunity when managed correctly. At 310 Planning we’re experienced at delivering the sort of social content that helps create real engagement and enables applicants to say ‘we consistently communicated and we listened’ to the views of local residents.

Local media contact
Although not part of the official process, the local media often become involved when applications are submitted. Local newspapers, TV and radio can have a dramatic influence on the opinions of the stakeholders involved so careful management is required throughout. At 310 Planning this is one of our core skills that we’re hugely experienced in.

Local councillor liaison
Working with the local divisional councillor is always a good idea as it’s these individuals that can support applications, help with local liaison and ‘call in’ applications to committee. At 310 Planning we have first-hand experience of this role, we know how it works and the pressure that councillor can be under as they navigate negotiated positions between developers and local residents.

Website development
With some large-scale applications and unique projects, the creation of a specific website is often required. It creates a level of engagement that enables clear communication regarding the application. At 310 Planning we’re experienced in building websites, creating content and the maintaining them throughout the planning process, they can even be adapted afterwards as part of the sales strategy and new resident welcome pack.

Leaflets and newsletters
Occasionally, the old-fashioned methods are the best methods and that’s particularly true when applications require direct communication to local residents, councillors and other stakeholders. Here at 310 Planning, we have a design team, print partners and a team of distributors to make sure that the information is delivered direct through the doors. In addition, we create regular email-based newsletters that residents can sign up for to receive up to date information on how the project is progressing.

VR walk throughs
One additional service that we offer is VR walk throughs. It’s an innovative and ground-breaking way of communicating applications during the planning process. At 310 Planning we create bespoke software that enables stakeholders including councillors, officers and local residents to virtually ‘walk through’ the proposed schemes. From experience, this creates a high level of engagement that very clearly demonstrates that applicants are willing to go that extra mile.
