Healthy Engagement and Consultation in Practice

In October 2020 Bristol Housing Festival hosted a roundtable discussion “Healthy Consultation in Practice.” Central to the discussion was the belief that community consultation is an essential part of the conversation when building new homes, but how this should be done, when and who should be consulted is often debated.

The Bristol Housing Festival, with support from Goram Homes, brought together a variety of perspectives for this roundtable including developers, Bristol City Council, community advocates and others to discuss the purpose of consultation and re- imagine how it could be done to meet its objectives. This report summarises the key points of the debate and recommendations.
