A Digital Public Consultation allows the user to view a project on a web-based application in the context of narrative text and multimedia that informs, inspires and engages stakeholders.
As part of the Public consultation for Y Bryn Wind Farm, Natural Power developed a StoryMap as a non-technical summary of the Environmental Statement.
The benefits of a digital public consultation are:
Accessible and shareable links – the digital public consultation can be made accessible to anyone online and the link can be hosted on websites.
User friendly navigation – the digital public consultation is designed to take the user through all the key stages of the project though chapter headings with website, mobile phone and tablet functionality.
User experience design (UX) – the digital public consultation builds the relationship between the platform and the user experience as an engaging tool to understand concepts of a project using text, maps, 3D elements and multimedia in a stylish modern designed webmap.
‘Big Picture’ – the digital public consultation breaks down all the key elements of project design in a bite size, user friendly package.
