Agenda item

The Executive RESOLVED to consult on the revised draft Surrey Heath Statement of Community Involvement for a period of six weeks.

The Executive considered a report setting out a revised draft Surrey Heath Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) and seeking agreement to consult on this draft SCI.

The SCI set out how the Council would involve the community and stakeholders in the preparation of the Surrey Heath Local Plan and in the determination of planning applications.

The current SCI had been adopted in 2017. The main change from the 2017 SCI was the addition of a section on how the Borough Council would assist in the preparation of Neighbourhood Plans, following a legislative change requiring this to be included in a SCI. Further minor changes to the SCI were also noted.

It was agreed to circulate the list of consultees at Appendix 1 of the SCI and suggested that Members could propose any additions to the list they considered relevant, using their local knowledge.
