Have we got our Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) right?

Fareham Borough Council has produced a draft Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) and would like to know what people think of it by Friday 23 December.

The SCI sets out how everyone can get involved in developing and deciding on the local planning policies and planning applications that help shape Fareham.  The SCI also outlines the types of consultation and engagement methods we will use to involve people and groups in the decision making process.

You can view and comment on the Statement of Community Involvement online at www.fareham.gov.uk/consultations. Paper copies will also be available to view at Fareham Borough Council's Civic Offices and in all libraries in Fareham borough. Comments can also be sent to planningpolicy@fareham.gov.uk or by post to Planning Policy Team, Fareham Borough Council, Civic Offices, Civic Way, Fareham, PO16 7AZ.

Councillor Keith Evans, Executive Member for Planning and Development, said "The Statement of Community Involvement sets out the standards that the Council will use to give everyone an equal opportunity to influence and comment on the Local Plan and planning applications shaping the future development in Fareham.  We welcome any interested parties to comment by Friday 23 December."
