Hammerson's PR Manager Catrin Morgan avoids the word "delighted" in praising Consense for 'Eastgate Quarters'. Plus a Leeds Fly-Through (unlike the rudderless, wingless, hapless Brent Cross plane)


"We wanted to provide an interactive way for people to see the new plans and engage in the consultation process." [As opposed to: "We will arrogantly impose plans at Brent Cross, thanks to the secretive arrangement we have with dysfunctional Barnet Council (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). And consultation? Bah!"] 

"Consense’s system is an excellent tool for managing the process and we’re keen to use Open Debate for future schemes too." [You are almost 'delighted', aren't you, Catrin?]

Consense adds:
"Hammerson received planning consent in July 2011 for the redevelopment of Eastgate Quarters in Leeds from a brownfield site to a major shopping centre that will lift Leeds in the retail rankings.

"Hammerson adopted our Open Debate system to facilitate community consultation online, inviting website visitors to view the plans (including a CGI fly-through) and register to receive email updates, submit any questions or comments and complete a questionnaire. The website also features a discussion wall for users to post comments and questions for Hammerson to respond to.

"The online consultation launched in September 2010 and saw 243 register to take part, with 91% of those who completed a questionnaire pledging their support for the scheme.

"The Open Debate system records the feedback from visitors for Hammerson to manage and report on via a secure admin area. The admin area can also be used to manage the website content and the discussion wall."
