CONSENTS & ENGAGEMENT MANAGEMENT
A holistic approach to deliver continuous improvements
Assystem has the technical expertise, to provide a comprehensive service in terms of:
- Consents Management: management of consents and regulatory requirements
- Engagement Management: engagement, communication, and coordination with stakeholders
By following a holistic approach to the consents process, Assystem can support projects end-to-end, taking lessons learnt from the end of a delivery into the pre-application phase for the next development. Assystem is also uniquely positioned to support projects post-content and pre-commencement which is an often overlooked but crucial stage which, if done right will set you up for success right from the start, and if done incorrectly will cause delays and issues for construction.
We optimise this methodology by using digital tools.
Our 4 support phases:
1- The Pre-Application phase
It includes planning strategy, lead negotiations, EIA management/review, mitigation route map, due diligence and peer review, submission requirements, planning conditions drafting, DCO requirements, stakeholder engagement, consents identification, public communication & consultation, etc.
2- The Determination phase
It includes production of evidence for examination/inquiry, expert witness, complete negotiations and agreements with stakeholders, counsel & lawyers' instruction.
3- The Delivery & Commission phase
It includes all consents proactive management, discharge conditions/requirements, lead negotiations, collaborative work with major contractors, stakeholder engagement and clear communication with them.
4- The Feedback phase
