Prior to the Council Meeting consideration, the Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration will be invited to approve the draft Statement of Community Involvement and the commencement of a public consultation period.

The Corporate Director for Place Management & Regeneration has given approval to the publication of a draft revised SCI for a six week period of consultation which is a requirement of the relevant statutory regulations
