About this public consultation template

A consultation is only fair if quieter residents are counted alongside the confident ones. This public consultation meeting template sets out the proposal in brief, shows where people stand, and asks what matters most. The discussion slide asks what would make the proposal work better, which keeps the community consultation constructive.

The first poll checks how much people already know about the proposal. An anonymous poll then records where each person stands: support, support with changes, oppose or undecided. A final poll asks what matters most, such as cost, impact on my area or the environment. It suits councils, planners and anyone gathering resident feedback.

When to use it

  • Public meetings on planning or development proposals
  • Community consultation run by councils or housing groups
  • Stakeholder engagement where you need a fair record of views
