Hastings Local Plan - Statement of Community Involvement Update
Decision status: Recommendations Approved (subject to call-in)
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Decisions:
The Strategic Planning Manager presented a report to inform Cabinet of minor updates to the statement of community involvement (SCI), prior to its publication on the council’s website.
The SCI is part of a wider suite of documents which make up the local plan; it sets out the council’s approach to community involvement and provides details of how and when people can get involved in both the planning policy and development management processes.
The Hastings SCI, which was originally adopted in 2006, had been subject to a review to ensure that the most up to date version is available at the time of examination in public. The main updates reflect changes brought about by the Localism Act 2011 and the latest position in terms of preparation of the local plan.
The revised SCI will be published on the council’s website, before examination in public of the development management plan. Members of the community will be made aware of the new SCI through the local newsletter and through updates to the website and social media.
Councillor Chowney moved approval of the recommendations to the report, as set out in the resolution below, which was seconded by Councillor Cartwright.
RESOLVED (by 6 votes for 0 against with 1 abstention) that – the content of the revised statement of community involvement is considered, and recommended for approval for publication on the council’s website.
The reason for this decision was:
To ensure there is an up to date statement of community involvement in place at the time of publication of the development management plan. This will help to ensure the development management plan meets the legal compliance test at examination in public.
