Planning Communications

Planning isn’t just about policy - it’s about people. At Walk Through Walls, we deliver communications strategies that build local trust, manage political risk, and help get planning applications approved. Whether it’s a housing development, major infrastructure scheme, or regeneration project, we help you tell your story, engage your stakeholders, and secure planning consent with confidence.

Why Planning Communications Matters

In today’s planning environment, even well-designed proposals can be delayed - or blocked - by public opposition, political shifts, or poor engagement. Effective communications can be the difference between a smooth decision and a costly standstill.

Our planning communications service ensures communities, councillors and decision-makers hear your case clearly, credibly, and early. We focus on transparency, trust, and targeted messaging - giving you the best chance of success at every stage of the process.
