Ribble Valley's Revised Statement of Community Involvement is going out to public consultation

The Statement of Community Involvement (or SCI) sets out our commitment to involving all parts of the community in preparing local planning documents.  Due to changes in government legislation and our experience of recent consultations we are revising the SCI and we want your views.

 The SCI sets out the various stages through which local planning documents have to pass before they become adopted and are then used to decide where future development should go.

 It describes when in the process local people and other interested parties can give their views and what methods the Council will use to gather local opinion. 

It also outlines the many different groups and organisations that make up the local community and how each will be consulted.

The consultation will run from the 26th May to 9th July.
