Report of the Leader

The Leader introduced the report as circulated with the agenda.  There was a legal requirement for the council to have a Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) which set out procedures and methods the council would use when consulting on planning applications and during preparation of new development plans and related documents.  This was formally adopted by the council in October 2006 but since this time there had been a number of legislative changes resulting in the need for updates to the SCI.  Public consultation on the revised SCI started in July 2013 and four responses had been received, though some were seemingly automated responses which did not relate to the document.   

Upon a vote it was unanimously

RESOLVED that  the revised Statement of Community Involvement be adopted.
