Purpose

The Statement of Community
Involvement (SCI) is the document that sets out how the council
will engage with the community and other interested parties when it
makes planning decisions. It explains how local residents and other
stakeholders will be engaged as we prepare planning policies that
form the development plan, and in the consideration and
determination of planning applications.

 

The three Councils (Cheltenham
Borough Council, Gloucester City Council and Tewkesbury Borough
Council) are producing the Strategic and Local Plan (SLP). It is
considered an opportune time to ensure that the three SCIs are
aligned in the way that they reference the SLP.
