Digital public consultation
Due to COVID-19, the Scottish Government has issued guidance promoting digital consultations for major planning applications, replacing public exhibitions.
Orbit Communications has considerable experience of undertaking such tailored digital consultation events, delivering a bespoke website incorporating Live Chat functionality, video consultation events, webinars and other formats, anticipating the needs of clients.
Indeed, we pioneered digital engagement and have undertaken two schemes that are cited as examples of best practice by the Scottish Government – Locarno works in Dundee and Finance House in Edinburgh.
