RESOLVED
 

(1)          
That Cabinet approved the Officer responses to the
representations received to the public consultation on the Draft
Revised Statement of Community Involvement (SCI), as set out in the
Consultation Statement in Appendix 1 to the report.

(2)          
That Cabinet adopted and brought into effect the
Revised Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) in Appendix 2 to
the report to replace the current SCI (2014).
 
REASONS FOR DECISION – To formalise
the Council’s response to the comments received during the
consultation on the draft SCI, and to enable the document to be
formally adopted as the Council’s Statement of Community
Involvement.
 
OTHER OPTIONS CONSIDERED AND REJECTED – The
preparation of a Statement of Community Involvement and its review
every five years from its adoption date is a statutory requirement
and there are no reasonable alternative options.
 
Please note
that this was not a Key Decision so can be implemented by officers
with immediate effect.
