The Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) is a formal statement of the Council's policy about how local communities and stakeholders can be actively, meaningfully and continuously involved in the preparation of local plans, and in the consideration of planning applications that the County Council is responsible for determining.
Planning regulations require that SCIs are reviewed every five years. The SCI (second review) was adopted in June 2012 and therefore a review is taking place. Public consultation on the contents of the third review of the SCI will take place during July–August 2018 before it is amended as necessary and finalised. The updates to the SCI are light touch, and there are no substantive changes being proposed. The changes are largely due to recent regulation changes about a review of these documents every five years.
