Purpose:
Purpose of the Report: This report sets out
the draft updated Statement of Community Involvement, and asks
members to approve it for consultation. This will replace the
existing Statement of Community Involvement (adopted December 2007)

regulations).

consultation methodology for planning policy documents, including
the Local Plan (and associated documents), neighbourhood plans and
the Development Management process for planning applications. The
preparation of a Statement of Community Involvement is a statutory
requirement under national planning policy.
The Executive will be asked to agree the draft updated Statement of
Community Involvement for citywide public consultation.

ii. To delegate the consultation strategy for the Statement of Community involvement to the Corporate Director of Place in consultation with the Executive Member for Housing, Planning and Safer Communities.

the regulatory consultation document for planning purposes.
