Statement of Community Involvement
The Council is required to involve the community in the
preparation of Local Development Documents and decisions on very
large planning applications. The Statement of Community Involvement
(
SCI
) sets out how
and when you can get involved in planning decisions for your
area.
The revised
SCI
was submitted to
the Secretary of State in January 2006 for independent
examination where it was examined against a number of
'tests of soundness'. A final period of statutory
consultation took place between 20 January 2006 and 3 March 2006.
All representations received were sent to the Secretary of State
for consideration and are available for inspection by following the
link for the history of
SCI
preparation.
The Inspector's report was received on 8 August 2006.
The recommendations in the report were binding upon the local
authority which meant that they had to be incorporated into
the document. The
SCI
was adopted by
the Council on 18 October 2006. The Inspector's report and the
final version of the SCI can be viewed by clicking on the links
