Statement of Community Involvement (SCI)

The Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) explains how the Council will consult people on the preparation of planning policies under the new planning system, which the Government introduced in 2004. The SCI also sets out the Council’s standards for consultation on planning applications. The Council’s aim is to encourage more people to get actively involved in the planning process. The Hart SCI was adopted by the Council on 28th September 2006:

We are particularly interested in engaging hard to reach groups; ie. the young; the economically, learning or socially disadvantaged; people with disabilities; ethnic minorities or simply people who may not perceive the relevance of the planning system to their lives. Do make contact if you are interested, and any suggestions or comments on how such groups and individuals might become more involved are always welcomed.
