Statement of Community Involvement (SCI)

The Council adopted the SCI on 22nd February 2007.

These are documents that the local planning authority must
prepare and which have to be subject to community involvement,
consultation and independent examination. These include general
policies applicable to the whole district, allocations of land,
site/area specific policies and the proposals map.
The Council is currently assembling the evidence it needs to

relevant groups, organisations and individuals to help identify the
issues to be addressed.
