Comm Comm UK

We attended the House of Commons launch of @Plunkett_UK 2025 report Community Ownership: A Better Form of Business. Inspiring discussions on how rural, community-owned enterprises are revitalising local economies, and why they need more support. plunkett.co.uk/wp-content/upl…

Meet Jake Cunliffe, Project Manager at Comm Comm. With over 12 years’ experience in communications and PR, Jake’s known not just for his technical expertise, but for his calm, supportive approach and knack for storytelling - qualities that make him an invaluable part of the team.

Comm Comm began as a simple idea… clear, human communication between people and projects. Years later, it’s more than a name. It’s how we work. 🎥 Hear the story behind the “Comm Comm” name, and why it still perfectly captures who we are and what we stand for.

We led the community engagement strategy, securing unanimous planning approval from the council at Buckingham Palace road ✨ A revamped public realm & retail spaces 🚌 Upgraded Bulleid Way bus station facilities 🏛️ A modern two-storey roof extension commcommuk.com/our-projects

The biggest mistake developers make? Starting consultation too late. Early engagement builds trust, reduces objections, and keeps projects moving. it’s an investment in smoother approvals, better structures, and stronger community support.

A calmer, more focused Conservative Conference this year. Full of thoughtful discussion on housing, planning, and growth. I left encouraged by the next generation’s engagement but concerned by the lack of industry voices. Jess's full reflections in blog. commcommuk.com/comm-comm-news…

In his latest blog, Chris argues that rebuilding Britain’s social contract starts with fixing planning. Faster, fairer, and community-led systems can restore trust and deliver the homes we need. Read the article and let us know your view on the subject? commcommuk.com/comm-comm-news…

It’s been a month of milestones for the team, with multiple new planning consents granted across London. 🎉 From Barking to Soho, we’ve helped secure over 5 approvals for major schemes bringing new homes, restaurants & workspaces to London. A huge thank you to everyone involved.

Exciting to see 180 Piccadilly taking shape. We led consultation for both the original scheme & its Section 73 amendment, reusing steel from another London building to reduce carbon. A good example of sustainable development made possible through early engagement & collaboration.

Planning + licensing comms for Celeste, Ledbury Road We’ve supported ESRA with community consultation, exhibitions & stakeholder management, to bring this Notting Hill site back to life as a restaurant & private members’ club. Licensing & planning granted. celestenottinghill.com

One social value outcome stands out: Community ownership of assets like shops, pubs, and meeting spaces. These places create jobs, skills, and pride, ensuring new developments give back in ways people feel every day. What outcome would you prioritise?

The next phase of consultation with Raven Housing Trust is underway in Preston, Tadworth. Our team has knocked on 140 doors, with 1:1 meetings, walk & talks, pop-ups & a live webinar coming up. Real conversations that shape real communities. Get in touch today.

At this year’s Labour Party Conference, one theme stood out… the power of community. From housing to local ownership, progress depends on collaboration, trust, and fairness. Read Hannah’s reflections in The Power of Community now on our website. commcommuk.com/comm-comm-news…

As consultation evolves, social value and human connection will be at the forefront.  The future is hybrid, digital tools that enable genuine, face-to-face connection and lasting trust on projects that deliver true value to the communities they serve.

We’ve got a bold new look after 12 years... We remain bold, modern, and people-first, but now with a new logo, colours, & name that reflect a fresh version of the same standards. Comm Comm: Community Communications. Building trust. Securing consent. Creating stronger communities.
