Athene provided community engagement services for Longhurst Group's 400-home retirement development in Humberston, North East Lincolnshire. They conducted a Community Audit to understand local issues and aspirations. Athene then held a six-week public consultation program with exhibitions, workshops and a site visit. Feedback was gathered through surveys, phone, email and social media to shape the outline planning proposal around community needs. The comprehensive consultation helped gain support for a development that met local requirements.

Setting the context on Newham
Working with residents to improve their communities
Learning lessons from involving residents in policymaking
Developing people’s participation & policy design skills
Areas for discussion
Putting people at the heart of everything we do is a key strategic principle for Newham Council. It is committed to better involving residents because working together with our communities achieves better services and outcomes and makes the borough a happier and healthier place to live.
We set up a Democracy and Civic Participation Commission in 2020 to enable democracy in the borough to become more representative and participatory and to look at alternative governance models for the council.
We established the UK’s first permanent citizens assembly and one of the country’s largest participatory budgeting programmes to support our residents to be “policy makers” and “budget makers”
We also mobilised pioneering alliances to “co-produce” with residents and partners, setting Help Newham to mobilise staff and residents to provide emergency support during the pandemic, and the Newham Social Welfare Alliance which brings together frontline partners to support residents at risk of crisis.
We set up Health Champions to engage residents to protect themselves from Covid, now leading a national network, and are training residents to carry out research in their communities as part of the UK’s first longitudinal programme through community-led research.

The role of co ops in local economic renewalEd Mayo
Can you turn around neighbourhoods and foster sustainable renewal? Drawing on work I have been involved in over time, with hopeful examples and practical health warnings, this deck explores the role of co-operatives and community economic development.
İn the scope of Urban projects at Erciyes University,Faculty of Architecture,Department of City and Regional planning,i benefited remarkably from Charles Montgomery Concept of HAPPY CİTY.
The concept has helped me plan for Alaçam Municipality(A Samsun district,a Black sea region in Turkey) 2019-2040 General land use plan(Urban project 311,1:5000 scale) and its İmplementation plan (411 urban project,1:1000 scale).
Huntsville, Alabama is one of the most recognized cities in the Southeast - named as one of the best places to live and work by a variety of national publications and recognized as a premier location for both business and quality of life. Recently, Forbes named Huntsville one of the nation’s Top 10 Places for Business and Careers. In 2012, the City of Huntsville launched a citizen engagement campaign that solicited public feedback on subjects such as park revitalization and improvements to the historic district. It served as an online town hall and was used to make numerous decisions about city planning.
Learn how the City of Huntsville:
- launched the BIG Picture, an 18-month comprehensive master urban planning initiative that would shape the future of Huntsville for decades to come
- fostered dialogue within the community that was valuable, respectful, and appreciated by citizens
- validated and fast-tracked issues in the planning phase

CASE STUDY
Humberston Avenue
Athene provides specialist and effective community engagement on
Longhurst Group’s 400-home development retirement scheme

A clear community vision
The Joseph Ogle Trust had a clear vision for
land they owned in Humberston, North East
Lincolnshire, and teamed up with Keystone
Developments (LG) Ltd, part of homes and
care providers Longhurst Group, to produce
plans for a dedicated retirement community
and affordable homes development.
Recognising our expertise in community
engagement, Keystone asked us to devise a
programme of public consultation to support
its outline planning application for 400 new
homes.
Taking it to the people
Although it’s a statutory obligation, we see
public consultation and the development of
the Statement of Community Involvement (SCI)
as much more than just a box ticking exercise
– it should be a meaningful dialogue with the
community that identifies common objectives.
Our first step was to conduct a Community
Audit to give Keystone a clear understanding
of any existing local concerns or issues.
The Community Audit gives our clients a
thorough overview of the community at the
heart of the proposals, along with their aims
and aspirations for the area they live in. This
allows projects to be shaped, structured and
refined to perfectly fit the community’s needs.
We then met with representatives from the
local authority, parish councils, the local
college and the voluntary sector who helped
to shape how the development could be
planned so it benefited and met the needs of
the local community.
Next, we drew up a six-week public
consultation programme which included three
public exhibitions manned by Keystone’s
project team, stakeholder workshops and a
coach trip to existing Keystone retirement
communities.
The consultation was heavily promoted
during this time to make sure we reached as
many people as possible. We held regular
media briefings with the Grimsby Telegraph,
the Cleethorpes Chronicle, BBC Radio
Humberside, BBC Look North and local
radio station Compass FM, which gave the
programme extensive front page, radio and
TV coverage.
We also developed a bespoke website for the
development alongside Facebook and Twitter
pages; produced a consultation document
that was posted out to local people and made
available from the village hall and library; sent
out leaflets to 7,000 homes and put up posters
advertising the consultation exhibitions.
Gathering views
We made it as easy as possible for people to
give their feedback during the consultation
period. They could send the consultation
survey back using the Freepost address, fill
it in online, get in touch using the dedicated
Freephone number or email address, or leave
comments on the Facebook and Twitter pages.
All feedback was fed into a secure, specialist
data management system that was purpose
built for the consultation and once analysed,
the feedback played an important part in
shaping the outline planning proposal.
Retirement homes were moved closer to
the road; a greater sense of open and green
space was designed in; drainage proposals
were upgraded; renewable energy options
were explored and a detailed transport
assessment was commissioned.
We see consultation as a real opportunity
for dialogue and this project gave neutral
and supportive people a voice – one that’s
sometimes overwhelmed by the noisy minority
of opposition. The process ensured that any
issues could be identified before they arose
and the comprehensive public consultation
programme helped Keystone deliver a well
supported proposal that met the needs of
the community.
“The community engagement strategy
focussed our efforts and ensured that all
stakeholders were managed effectively.
Delivery of the community consultation itself
was exemplary and ensured that local people
not only had the opportunity to comment on
the proposals, but were enabled to do so.”
