Statement of Community Involvement
What is it?
The Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) sets out the standards to be adopted by the Council for engaging the community and key stakeholders in the plan-making process. Its aim is to achieve greater public involvement in the preparation of all future planning documents and in decisions on significant planning applications.
Why is it needed?
Better public engagement in the process will ensure that decision-making is transparent and accountable and reflects local needs. It will also encourage community 'ownership' of planning documents and decisions.
Progress to date
The Statement of Community Involvement was formally adopted by the Council on 27 July 2006, following its submission to the Secretary of State in November 2005. You can download the current adopted SCI below:
