Statement of Community Involvement

How are the community involved during the plan and decision-making process?

The Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) explains how we involve the community on planning matters including the preparation of the next Local Plan and on planning applications.

A revised SCI was adopted by Cabinet on 23 May 2024.

The revised SCI reflects changes in how the Council works and in national policy and legislation. It replaces the adopted SCI (2015) and the Addendum SCI (2020). (Please note that this replaces the previous version adopted on 7 December 2023).
