One of the biggest consultation mistakes is overpromising early in the process. When expectations have to be scaled back, trust disappears, objections grow, and the planning journey becomes slower and more expensive. Clear, honest communication from day one matters.

Last week was busy. New business enquiries, updated case studies and several recent consents to reflect on. Hannah attended the 24th CSG meeting at Middlesex Street Estate, while others were in Harwell and Soho working on new projects. A big week, with exciting conversations.

16 Charles Street, a Grade II* listed townhouse in Mayfair, is being sensitively restored and transformed into a fine dining restaurant. We supported Loulou Groupe with neighbour engagement, heritage communication and consultation. A major step in securing the building’s future.

Social value isn’t a new idea, it’s a new way of recognising the positive impact great developers have always created. It’s not a legal requirement, but a choice to invest in people as much as in places.

How do you define social value in your projects?

Project Flourish at Kensal Canalside has been granted planning consent after four years of consultation and detailed design work. The scheme delivers over 2,500 homes, new green spaces, a flagship Sainsbury’s, workplaces and better transport links. A huge milestone for the area.

When I started, community consultation was seen as PR, something to tick off at the end.

Now it’s central to delivering better schemes, building trust, and shaping places with communities, not for them.

🎥 Watch my reflections and share what’s changed in your work.

We attended the House of Commons launch of @Plunkett_UK 2025 report Community Ownership: A Better Form of Business. Inspiring discussions on how rural, community-owned enterprises are revitalising local economies, and why they need more support.

Comm Comm began as a simple idea… clear, human communication between people and projects.
Years later, it’s more than a name. It’s how we work.

🎥 Hear the story behind the “Comm Comm” name, and why it still perfectly captures who we are and what we stand for.

The biggest mistake developers make? Starting consultation too late.

Early engagement builds trust, reduces objections, and keeps projects moving. it’s an investment in smoother approvals, better structures, and stronger community support.

A calmer, more focused Conservative Conference this year.

Full of thoughtful discussion on housing, planning, and growth. I left encouraged by the next generation’s engagement but concerned by the lack of industry voices.

Jess's full reflections in blog.

What Makes Comm Comm Stand Out? 🤔

✅A high success rate in stakeholder engagement & planning approvals

In his latest blog, Chris argues that rebuilding Britain’s social contract starts with fixing planning. Faster, fairer, and community-led systems can restore trust and deliver the homes we need.

It’s been a month of milestones for the team, with multiple new planning consents granted across London.
🎉 From Barking to Soho, we’ve helped secure over 5 approvals for major schemes bringing new homes, restaurants & workspaces to London.

A huge thank you to everyone involved.

Exciting to see 180 Piccadilly taking shape. We led consultation for both the original scheme & its Section 73 amendment, reusing steel from another London building to reduce carbon. A good example of sustainable development made possible through early engagement & collaboration.
