Statement of Community
Involvement
The Statement of Community
Involvement (SCI) sets out how and when Council will consult the
community and other stakeholders as it develops documents within
its Local Development Framework.
The planning system encourages consultation from an
early stage and the Statement of Community Involvement seeks to
ensure that the community plays a role in developing the LDF.
The Statement of Community Involvement was formally adopted by
Council on 20 July 2006. The SCI, the Adoption Statement and the
Inspector's Report can be viewed below. In addition, the council
adopted some amendments to the Statement of Community Involvement
in February 2011.
Since the SCI was adopted, the legislation governing Local
Development Framework has changed. The council has also adopted a
new timetable for the LDF and has updated its Local Development
Scheme. As a result of these changes, council agreed to some
amendments to the SCI in February 2011. These changes do not affect
the council's overall approach to Community Involvement nor its
commitment to public consultation and community engagement in the
planning process. The amendments can be viewed below.
