Case study
Gillingham, Dorset
Reserved Matters for 80 new homes
The challenge
Barratt David Wilson's Reserved Matters application for 80 homes in Gillingham included notable changes to the outline permission that needed to be sensitively conveyed to politicians.
Our approach
DevComms' South West team briefed Dorset Council Planning Committee members ahead of determination. Each change from the outline planning permission was proactively explained to relevant politicians.
The outcome
The application achieved approval at planning committee at the first attempt, despite the sensitivity of the design changes from the original outline permission.
