| Who are Green Issues? |
- They are a PR & Political Lobbying Group
- They work for Gladedale and other developers e.g. Barrett
Homes
- They employ politicians / local councillors / party candidates
- They seek to engage local opinion prior to and after
planning submission
- They seek out objections then try to counter them or
put them in a more positive light
- They say they use "sociodynamics" to achieve
their goals ("essentially why people behave as they
do, often irrationally")
- They say it is not the number of Objectors that can stop
a project but the lack of Supporters
- So they try to nurture and maximise support for their
client's proposals and to minimise Objectors
- They mention employing planning consultants to working
closely with the planning officers in an attempt to ensure
a scheme gains a recommendation to approve
Check out their Case Studies to see how they attempt to manipulate
local influencers and local opinion makers.
