Shape East Consultation Services

The East of England is continuously developing, with new towns, villages and neighbourhoods being planned for the future.  As part of our programme, Shape East offers a wide range of consultation services, working with all those involved to ensure that these new places are better places for everyone to live, work and play.

Our central aim is to bridge the gap between members of the local community, design professionals and decision makers, providing the necessary information and engagement to give all people a say in local changes.

As an independent organisation we are extremely well-placed to provide these services, creating consultation programmes tailor made to meet your requirements and respond to the individual needs of all clients.  We have completed a wide variety of consultation projects, with primary and secondary schools, young people, mother and toddler groups, elderly residents, local communities, local authorities and professional stakeholders.These services range from one to two day sessions to complete intensive consultation programmes and may include feedback sessions, results analysis and dissemination and report write ups.
