We want to involve as many residents, businesses, community groups and other stakeholders appropriately in planning matters. The Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) sets out how we will engage and consult on planning documents and planning applications.
On 13 January 2020 the Council adopted a revised Statement of Community Involvement. The SCI sets out principles of engagement, consultation techniques and details of how residents and stakeholders can get involved in all aspects of planning. It seeks to make it quicker, easier and more accessible to have your say in the planning process.
The Town and Country Planning (Local Planning, Development Management Procedure, Listed Buildings etc.) (England) (Coronavirus) (Amendment) Regulations 2020 (December 2020 Regulations), removed, on a temporary basis, the requirements on local planning authorities to make certain documents available for inspection at premises and to provide hard copies on request.
From the 1 January 2022, the SCI 2020 was brought back into effect.
