Appendix D: Statement of Community Consultation
An underlying principle in this Neighbourhood Plan is to have local people actively involved in ongoing consultation on important planning issues. And many of our policies expressly call for community involvement designed to understand local views about development proposals before planning applications are submitted.
Where a policy in this Plan includes a requirement for a Statement of Community Consultation to accompany a planning application, this must, as a minimum, include the following:
- An explanation of how a broad cross-section of local people, both in the immediate area likely to be affected by the development proposals and in the wider neighbourhood, were consulted on the development proposals in a timely fashion
- The means used to involve and engage with local people in consultation, using a range of ways in which input and comments could be provided. For example, a variety of publicity and the opportunity to provide web-based comments as well as attending events in person
- A record of the views expressed by local people and the Parish Council
- An explanation of how the proposals being submitted following this Consultation have addressed the views of and any issues or concerns raised by local people and the Parish Council.
