Community benefits for developers.Community Benefits are not a material planning consideration; offering benefits does not help developers get planning permission yet despite this developers across a range of industries and sectors are working hard to ensure their development offers specific benefits to the host community.
Developers often invest millions in community benefit funds but the impact on the host communities is often limited. Communities themselves are not sharing in the benefits of the development and developers themselves rarely see a return on the investment. The way that community benefits are currently delivered – particularly in today's economic climate – no long offers real value for either the developer or the community. In addition the difficulties for developers of engaging with key stakeholders and individual members of communities can mean it can be hard for developers to convey their messages about the project in a clear, unfiltered way directly to local residents. We provide a range of services for developers of large scale infrastructure projects who are looking to secure benefits for the local communities including:
