How we help you

National Parks are cornerstones of natural beauty and recreation. Yet, ensuring their continued success relies heavily on fostering a strong connection with the surrounding communities. Commonplace empowers local authorities and developers to put the community at the heart of decision-making for National Park projects.  Our National Park Engagement suite offers a suite of user-friendly tools to facilitate open dialogue, gather valuable insights, and build trust with stakeholders.  With Commonplace, you can create interactive maps for highlighting proposed developments, host online forums to gather community feedback and conduct surveys to gauge public sentiment on park usage and conservation efforts.  This collaborative approach fosters transparency and builds a sense of shared ownership, leading to more sustainable and well-received National Park projects.

Proud to support 

"The Commonplace platform has helped us to ensure the voices of as many of those who stand to benefit from, or are impacted by, schemes are heard. The benefit of Commonplace is the adaptability of its service allowing us to mould and shape the platform to maximise engagement across a range of quite different engineering schemes."
