Master Plan for Griffin, Blackburn
Working with Building Design Partnership Architects, in August 2005
we concluded a masterplan for the Griffin area of Blackburn for
Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council. Through discussion with
local residents and stakeholders, and a series of consultation
events over several months, we drew up a masterplan for new homes,
demolition of around 1/3 of the 550 terraced properties in the area,
block repairs and environmental improvements that has subsequently
become adopted as BwDBC policy with broad community support

Bradley & Nelson Town Master Plan.
We worked with Building Design Partnership Architects, consulting
residents on two masterplans on two adjacent areas of Nelson- a
large residential area of around 1,400 terraced homes in Bradley,
and the town centre itself. Around 50% of households in Bradley
are Pakistani Muslim households, and so all our literature was
bi-lingual in English and Urdu. We reached more than 1 in 3 of the
households in Bradley, talking to them about the issues in the
area. The Town Centre Masterplan had a wider scope, and was of
interest to the much wider population of Pendle, as well as key
stakeholders like landowners, traders as well as employees and
shoppers

Merseyside Waterfront Regional Park.
PSC, with the Halsall Lloyd Partnership, worked on a
communication/consultation exercise to explore issues around the
proposed Merseyside Waterfront Regional Park. The main part of
this work was a travelling exhibition, which included asking
those people consulted to complete a survey, at summer shows
across Merseyside. We obtained the views of more than 1,500 people
at the nine day-long events (including more than 800 questionnaires
from children under 16).

Stoke Urban Core Study
We were appointed at the end of 2005 to carry out consultation work for
the Stoke Urban Core Study, focusing on two Areas of Major Intervention
(AMIs) in Hanley South and Middleport and Burslem. Our method included
well attended road shows and drop in events, plus a postal survey of
residents that produced over 1,400 responses (a sample of 16%). This
work has made possible the development of plans that have a high level
of community understanding and support

Anfield Breckfield Regeneration Strategy.
Working with GVA Grimley, we carried out a large-scale consultation exercise on 19,000
homes around the Anfield/ Breckfield Regeneration Strategy- which included the
re-location of Liverpool Football Club's Anfield Stadium. This involved a face-to-face
household survey of 4,200 households, twenty stakeholder meetings, four open day
exhibitions/events, a freephone service, press briefings and the production of a
newsletter and two information booklets .The Leader of the Council described this work
to a meeting of the Liverpool Cabinet as 'the best piece of work of its kind ever
carried out in this City.'
