Statement of Community Involvement 2023
We adopted a new Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) on 25 September 2023, after being approved by Mayor and Cabinet on 20 September 2023.
The new SCI supersedes the previous SCI adopted in 2006 (with its 2020 and 2021 updates) and is not used in decision making.
What is a Statement of Community Involvement?
The SCI is a legal document for the Council and explains:
- how we prepare and consult on the preparation of planning policies
- how we support neighbourhood planning
- undertake our statutory consultation on planning applications

We have guidance for proactive developer engagement with communities. This document sets out our expectations for the quality of developer’s pre-application engagement with communities and other stakeholders and how to embed Social Value.
