Shortlisted for Planning Campaign of the Year

We’ve been shortlisted at The Public Affairs Awards for Planning Campaign of the Year, for our work on the successful campaign to bring the Dons back to Wimbledon. Thorncliffe was hired by the team behind AFC Wimbledon to support their planning application to Merton Council for over 600 homes and a new football stadium at… Continue reading Shortlisted for Planning Campaign of the Year

Bring home the Dons

Congratulations to AFC Wimbledon for overcoming the last major political hurdle to bringing the Dons back to their spiritual home on Plough Lane. At Thorncliffe, we’ve witnessed first-hand the passion the fans and others have displayed for this development, with so many getting involved in writing to the council, the (two) Mayors of London, and… Continue reading Bring home the Dons

As usual!

Great, thank you John. Good work as usual!

‘PLZ BLD’!

Brilliant. The individual comments are powerful. Good to see solid support in the comments for student accommo and the public space as well the retail.

My absolute favourite comment:

‘PLZ BLD’!

communityUK

I am very impressed with the communityUK system you have established and think it comes across well.

Smooth ride

A much smoother ride than I think any of us could have ever expected and that was down to the excellent work you and the team have done.

Excellent

We thought your work on this was excellent.

Great work, great result.

This one was bit of a journey to say the least, thanks to George and Sheri for their input to the team to get it over the line. Great work, great result.

Wimbledon

A splendid job old chap and thanks to your colleagues as well.

From a councillor…

“It’s good news that you are involved as we know how meticulous you have been in keeping us informed of developments with other projects. And it’s also good news that the hotel will be re-vitalised.”

Excellent as always

Thank you Richard, much appreciated. You and the whole team have been excellent as always.

What a pleasure

I just wanted to say what a pleasure the whole project was. The children have got so much out of this experience and as you could probably tell by their enthusiasm they are very proud of their work!!!

Grateful

A very short, but grateful email, to say thanks to you all for delivering our consent tonight.

An exemplar consultation

Thank you for your help for hosting the consultation meetings. One councillor praised the consultation as an exemplar particularly in working with the town council.

Top work

Thank you to the team! They did top work on this.

Smooth operation

Many thanks for last night: a very smooth operation!

Message was very welcome

Was a great result – especially to receive unanimous approval! Many thanks also for you and your team’s work in the run up to the committee. Getting those messages across really helped and was evident by the feedback given by members on both sides of the political spectrum … notably on the successfully engagement with residents and how the scheme responded accordingly. Message was very welcome!

On point

Harry was on point and has been the whole way through. We are all very chuffed. We are already preparing for another rather testing application on another site and you can be certain that we will engage you

Appreciated

Thanks Richard, your help has been much appreciated. Will let you know when the next job comes up!

Big guns!

Thanks for your and the team’s help. It was good to know we had the proverbial big guns in our armoury!

You kept calm

Many thanks for that: your team did very well, and kept a lot calmer than me! Matt was a sensible wise head, as was Alex, but he also made me think succinctly for the questions and how to answer, which is a great skill to try and acquire. Especially for someone as verbose as me!

A unanimous approval

Councillors praised both officers and the developer on their work and engagement.

A unanimous approval 5-0

With your help

Really pleased to hear the news this evening

With your help, we got it through !!!!

Best Regards!

Truly excellent example

Great news that we approved 60 houses on green belt last night.

It was tremendous that the Chair said that this was a “truly excellent example of good consultation…”

Gave me more confidence

Thank you – we were both somewhat surprised given the level of objections but in fact the committee hardly discussed the scheme at all before consenting it.

Thanks to your team for preparing me well for the committee which certainly gave me more confidence.

A big relief

Thank you. A big relief. As I am sure you can appreciate, we are delighted!

Your team did a great job, especially Matt who was integral.

I look forward to catching up soon.

Unanimous

196 flats approved unanimously, thanks to all involved.

Professional and effective

I wanted to thank you and all at Thorncliffe for managing the consultation process so professionally and effectively. This, without doubt, played a crucial role in gaining the approval.

Once again, all our thanks.

Was a good result

Cant remember the last time I got anything through unanimously!

Was a good result, it’s the right scheme for the site and of course we had a great team including yourselves working on it,

First class troops

Richard. Your troops did a first class job as always. Many thanks

Praise for communityUK

Well done for the way you presented tonight’s online consultation. I thought it was an excellent format.

Great result last night

I just wanted to say thank you again for all your help with the great result last night.

You have been tremendous and it is much appreciated.
