Decision details

The Council considered the report of the Director of Strategy, Performance and Governance presenting the 2021 Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) (Appendix 1 to the report) for approval following completion of a six-week consultation period.

The report provided background information regarding the draft SCI, recent consultation process undertaken, and responses received (summarised in Appendix 2 to the report).  It was noted that the SCI set out how the Council would consult on planning policy issues, planning applications and neighbourhood plans.

The Chairman moved the recommendation which was duly agreed.  Councillor C Morris asked that his dissent to the recommendation be recorded.

RESOLVED that the 2021 Statement of Community Involvement (attached at Appendix 1 to the report), be adopted.
