Statement of Community Involvement (SCI)

Involving the Community

The council wants to involve the community throughout all the stages of producing a new Local Development Framework (LDF). The new planning system requires all planning authorities to prepare a Statement of Community Involvement that sets out how and when people will be able to engage in both plan preparation and the determination of planning applications. To this end the first Local Development Framework document to be prepared by the council is the 'Statement of Community Involvement' (SCI).

Statement of Community Involvement

There are two aspects to the Statement:

• How we will involve people in developing the Local Development Framework (LDF) that will help to guide development in the Borough up to 2021.

• How people can get involved in decisions on planning applications for development in the Borough.

Following receipt of the Inspector's Report and its approval by Cabinet, the Borough formally adopted its Statement of Community Involvement on 8 May 2006.
