Our Approach to Engagement

In progressing its plans and proposals, GHC and the LDA promotes a proactive and inclusive approach to community and stakeholder engagement, starting from the earliest stages in the planning and design process, through to construction and eventual occupation of a housing scheme.

We support proportionate engagement processes, aiming to provide opportunities to hear the views of communities at key stages. We believe that adopting this ethos will support improved design and planning outcomes, and ultimately the delivery of sustainable, inclusive developments that are well integrated with existing communities.

The views of stakeholders vary and are diverse – GHC and the LDA are committed to finding resolutions that balance common concerns and reflect the wider public interest in a manner consistent with the goal to build sustainable, affordable / cost rental housing developments.

A tailored, project specific approach is undertaken to each community and stakeholder engagement process. The scale, scope and methods applied to undertake non-statutory engagement varies according to specific requirements and condition
