Many larger developments require
clients to carry out their own public consultation in advance
of submitting the planning applications to the local authorities.
PPS has organised and prepared a number of highly successful public
exhibitions for clients, organising the venue and publicity and
manning the exhibition to explain the project to visitors.
Our exhibition material is prepared to a very high standard while
our development professionals are at ease dealing with the public
face to face. Recent exhibitions were for a proposed wind farm
at Chelveston in Northamptonshire and a proposed business park
at Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire.
Whiteley Village is an elderly
persons retirement village located in the Surrey Green Belt, built
in the early 20th Century at the behest of William Whiteley an
Edwardian philanthropist. It is an outstanding example of Edwardian
architecture and forms its own Conservation Area with virtually
all the buildings listed. PPS negotiated a new build housing scheme
to enable the modernisation and repair of the Village and co-ordinated
the refurbishment programme with the local authority and Robert
Adam Architects.
Marsh Farm, Luton
Marsh Farm, Luton. On behalf
of Luton Borough Council PPS produced a Master Plan for the redevelopment
and regeneration of the Marsh Farm Estate in Luton. This was key
element in the Community Development Trust securing an award of
some £43.6 million under the New Deal for Communities programme.
As part of the master planning exercise we held a ‘planning
for real’ event attracting over 100 local residents and
stakeholders enabling the community to comment on the proposals
and put forward its own suggestions.
As part of preliminary negotiations on the potential for a new
wind farm at Chelveston, Northamptonshire, and a public exhibition
was held to engage local residents and seek view on the extent
of the proposals.
