Our online consultation system, Open Debate, makes community and stakeholder engagement more accessible, interactive and auditable; inevitably helping record valuable support for new plans, projects or developments.
The system currently helps a range of businesses, including renewable energy developers, house builders, leisure companies and planning bodies, to consult with more people than the more traditional consultation methods do, reaching people who wouldn't normally take part in consultation.
Presenting all the information normally produced for the planning process and inviting local people to register and comment online, means that consultation becomes a simple and interactive process, and that all data is fully auditable. We use search engine optimisation and marketing, social media tools and digital PR to help drive people to our online consultations.

73,300 new homes are due to be built in Cambridgeshire between 2001 and 2021, and this online consultation, run by Renewables East on behalf of Cambridgeshire Horizons, enables visitors to read about the sustainability targets for the region, learn about a variety of renewable and low carbon technologies and complete a consultation questionnaire giving their opinion on the future role of renewables. It also features an Interactive Energy Plan, demonstrating how renewable technologies could be deployed in a hypothetical community. An Interactive House shows how various low carbon design features and renewable technologies can be used for individual households.
