Statement of Community Involvement

Community involvement is an important part of the process of preparing the LDF. The aim of the Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) is to help ensure community ownership of the LDF, and to strengthen community involvement in planning over time. It also aims to improve overall representation and involvement across all sections of the community.

The SCI sets out the following:

• The council's intended approach to involving partners, interested parties and the community in the production of the LDF as well as major development control decisions
• The proposed arrangements for participation and consultation
