Cabinet:

2.1         Approved the draft West Northamptonshire Statement of Community Involvement for public consultation.

Councillor Hill, as the relevant Cabinet Member, presented the report and highlighted the salient points. Local planning authorities were required to produce a Statement of Community Involvement (SCI). Each sovereign council in West Northamptonshire had their own existing SCI. however it was necessary to have a joint SCI adopted by all 3 councils to set out the approach to engagement for the Strategic Plan. It was proposed that a 6-week options consultation take place in the new year and considered necessary to have the SCI adopted before consultation took place. All 3 councils were required to approve the SCI before public consultation could commence and should the recommendations be approved, 6-week public consultation would begin on the draft SCI in October 2020.

RESOLVED:

Cabinet:

2.1       Approved the draft West Northamptonshire Statement of Community Involvement for public consultation.
