Case Study: Lost Shore Surf Resort achieves planning approval with Perceptive Communicators

Lost Shore Surf Resort wins two planning approvals at first attempt with Perceptive Communicators

Lost Shore Surf Resort, a new tourism venture, faced the challenge of securing planning permission and building the world's first inland surf resort in a small village with vocal environmental activists and potentially hostile residents. They also needed to achieve credibility with investors and government officials to prove the project would be a successful addition to Scotland's tourism offering. To meet this challenge, they engaged Perceptive Communicators for public affairs and PR services.

Perceptive Communicators implemented a solution focused on regular community engagement and building relationships with key political stakeholders. Their work resulted in meaningful local support and public endorsements from politicians at all levels of government. The measurable impact included two major planning applications being approved on the first attempt, saving significant time and cost, and the successful securing of investment within target timescales.
