Cabinet received a report of the Planning Policy Officer setting out the requirement for the local authority to prepare and maintain a Statement of Community Involvement.  It outlined the issues, benefits and implications of adopting the Statement of Community Involvement.

 

Councillor Sharpe introduced the report and highlighted key elements contained in it.  It showed the council’s commitment to consult local people, which had been highlighted in the previous report.

 

The Mayor commented that the council went above and beyond the legal requirements when consulting the local community.

 

It was noted that the list of consultees included on the consultation statement were those organisations who were part of the planning policy consultation group.  If members were aware of additional groups to add to the list they could forward details to the Planning Policy Officer.

2.      that the Group Head of Place Shaping, in consultation with the Portfolio Holder for Regeneration and Development, be delegated the authority to make any minor changes to the document which may be required in the future.
