Statement of community involvement

The Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) sets out how and when the Council intends to involve people, businesses and organisations in the planning process.  The SCI includes how stakeholders will be involved in the review of the Local Plan, preparation of other planning documents and evidence base studies as well as the determination of planning applications.

The Council has produced an updated SCI which takes account of changes to planning legislation and guidance since the previous SCI was adopted in 2015.  The latest SCI update published on 18 November 2021 can be viewed below.
