SCDC Statement of Community Involvement  Document

Statement of community involvement Part of a new planning system for the district New system  Local Development Documents

The Statement of Community Involvement is one of several key documents that form part of a new planning system for the district.

The Town & Country (Local Development) (England) Regulations 2004 prescribe the minimum acceptable means of community involvement. However, Suffolk Coastal already goes beyond the minimum acceptable approach as prescribed by these regulations in consulting on planning matters. In the interests of maintaining its commitment to wide and effective community involvement, the Council will continue to exceed these minimum standards.

The types of individuals and groups, who comprise the broader community and need to be consulted (in general) include the following:
