CASE STUDY
Galliford Try Investments brought forward plans for a major regeneration scheme at the former Corah Factory site in Leicester city centre. PLMR was appointed to build support among key stakeholders and the local community, with the objective of securing planning approval from Leicester City Council.
PLMR developed a clear narrative and key messaging for the proposals, balancing the site’s heritage value with the regeneration opportunity and long term benefits. We delivered a targeted stakeholder and community engagement programme, including a public consultation event for local businesses and residents.
We also led the regional media launch, securing coverage in key local and trade titles including the Leicester Mercury, and provided member engagement and briefing support ahead of Planning Committee.
Following a positive Planning Committee decision in autumn 2025, planning permission was granted. The project demonstrated how clear messaging and focused engagement can build confidence in complex regeneration proposals.
PLMR’s crisis communications experience is second to none, and includes pre-emptive and reactive work across traditional and social media channels. We work with a range of organisations to offer critical communication support when they are faced with difficult and challenging scenarios.
