The Council is required to produce a Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) setting how it will engage local communities and other interested parties in producing their Local Plan (LDF) and determining planning applications.

An update to the Council’s current (2010) SCI is now required so as to reflect changes to the Council’s planning service structure and in-house processes, to national legislation/regulations governing both plan-making and development management processes, to some specific stakeholder agencies and to set out specific consultation arrangements for the Greater Manchester Spatial Framework (GMSF).

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
