Strategic communications support for DCO projects
We partner with leading renewable energy and low-carbon developers to deliver tailored communications strategies that support the successful consent and delivery of Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs) under the Development Consent Order (DCO) regime. Our team brings deep expertise in engaging stakeholders, managing reputational risk, and guiding projects through one of the most rigorous planning processes in the UK.
We help clients navigate the complexities of the DCO process, anticipate and address stakeholder concerns, and build public and political support through clear, confident communication.
Our capabilities include:
DCO consultation strategy and delivery
Stakeholder and community engagement
Political and media relations
Statutory and non-statutory public consultation (digital and in-person)
Risk identification and reputation management
Written and visual content for consultation and application documents
Campaign planning and execution
Post-consent communications and ongoing project support
Our team understands that no two NSIPs are the same. That’s why we take a bespoke, hands-on approach to every brief — becoming an extension of our clients’ teams, aligning with their goals, and providing honest, strategic advice from start to finish. We help developers meet the Planning Act’s consultation requirements, demonstrate a strong and credible public engagement record, and ultimately secure development consent with confidence.
