Statement of Community Involvement consultation
Overview
A Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) explains how we will involve local communities at each stage of the planning process.
Creating and publishing an SCI is a legal requirement for all planning authorities.
Why we need the SCI
We recognise that planning affects people’s daily lives, as the decisions we make shape the places we live and work in. As a result, we want to involve communities as early in the process as possible.
How the SCI works
The SCI is relevant to anyone who lives, works, or does business in Buckinghamshire. It sets out when, how, and for what reasons you can participate in planning processes or issues. It is divided into sections that include:
- planning for the future of Buckinghamshire
- neighbourhood planning
- planning new development
- dealing with unauthorised development
