The Government's Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 requires all local planning authorities to prepare a Statement of Community Involvement (SCI).
About the Statement of Community Involvement
The Statement of Community Involvement, or SCI, sets out North East Lincolnshire Council's policy for community involvement and consultation in the preparation and review of Local Development Documents (LDDs). It also contains guidance on consultation procedures for planning applications.
The aim of the SCI is to ensure all sections of the public, including local groups and organisations, are actively involved throughout the process of preparing LDDs and determining planning applications.
Community involvement is an important part of the process of preparing the Local Development Framework (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 (including 'hard to reach' groups) in the preparation and revision of all local development documents and major development control decisions.
- The proposed arrangements for participation and consultation.
