Opinions welcome on new Statement of Community Involvement
23 October 2024
We are welcoming views on our updated Statement of Community Involvement (SCI).
Our SCI is a document explaining how residents and businesses can take part in the process of developing planning policy in the New Forest (outside the National Park).
Cllr Derek Tipp, portfolio holder for planning and economy, said: "Planning decisions directly affect the places where people live and work, the economy and residents' health and wellbeing. Therefore, public opinion is critical to the planning process.
"We're encouraging residents and businesses to engage with our Statement of Community Involvement. It demonstrates our commitment to the following consultations: planning permission, allocation of Community Infrastructure Levy funds, and the preparation of planning policies and site allocations through the Local Plan."
The document is available to view and comment on our website until 6 December 2024.
