Statement of community involvement

Our statement of community involvement (SCI) outlines our approach to engaging with our community, stakeholders, and interested parties in the planning process.
It aims to foster a collaborative planning process by encouraging active participation from the community and ensuring their views and concerns are considered in shaping the district's development.
It fulfils the requirements of Regulation 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012.
It was adopted by Full Council on 8 September 2020.
