Case Study: Obee Estates builds community support for Oast Park Sports Hub with Pillory Barn

Obee Estates builds community support with Pillory Barn through 180+ survey responses

Obee Estates, a property developer, required strategic support to engage the local community and shape plans for transforming a disused golf club into the Oast Park Sports Hub, a new leisure-led community. They partnered with Pillory Barn for its placemaking marketing expertise to establish a brand identity and build early awareness for the multi-faceted development.

Pillory Barn created the Oast Park brand and implemented a phased program of community consultation. Their solution combined in-person events, a project website, digital surveys, targeted media outreach, and leaflet distribution to facilitate open dialogue. This integrated approach generated over 180 survey responses and attracted 100 attendees to consultation events, including local councillors. Pillory Barn helped Obee Estates establish trust, foster community endorsement, and move closer to realizing the development's vision with plans informed by valuable local feedback.
