To consider the Statement of Community Involvement and Community Engagement Strategy.

Additional documents:

Decision:

RESOLVED to approve the Statement of Community Involvement and the Community Engagement Strategy for publication and use.

 

Minutes:

Councillor Evans presented the report on Statement of Community Involvement and the Community Engagement Strategy. He said both documents had been subject to public consultation and revisions had been applied to achieve greater clarity. The revised documentation had been considered by the Scrutiny Committee at its meeting on 16 February 2021. He said there had not been a high response rate to the public consultation exercise, although that could have been due to the technical nature of the document.

 

Councillor Evans proposed approval of the recommendation set out in the report.

 

Councillor Day seconded the proposal and said this was a first class document that outlined the engagement process from “cradle to grave”. It was also indicative of a number of technical documents that had been produced by the Planning Policy team in the previous three months.

 

Councillor Reeve concurred and said the Administration were meeting their goal of getting wider input into the Local Plan process.

 

The proposal was approved unanimously.
