PlanningConsultation is a new website which provides a more effective way for developers to engage with stakeholders and consult the communities surrounding a development or a planning application.

It enables you as a member of the community or a stakeholder involved to:

• easily obtain accurate and up-to-date planning information about a proposed project or one underway and the issues surrounding it
• register to receive the latest planning updates about that project
• have your planning and other questions individually answered, and 
• allow you to lodge comments and suggestions about the project.

This is a new approach to planning consultation and community engagement, and aims to supplement existing channels of communication, such as exhibitions, brochures and other literature, public meetings, and face-to-face meetings.  By being internet-based, it will enable a wider cross-section of the community to participate, providing the information needed for people to make a judgment on what is proposed or what is happening, and enabling them to quickly and easily give their views to those who are involved.

At present, only two developments are uploaded on the website – a new campus for West Herts College in Watford and a proposed mixed-use project in Feltham, called Lower Feltham Lakes.  Others will be uploaded in the near future.
