Community Involvement (SCI)
Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) First Review - Adopted
December 2009
A review of the adopted Ashford
SCI
is required in
response to changes made to the
LDF
plan-making process
following the publication of the new Planning Policy Statement 12
and amendments to the Town and Country Planning (Local Development)
Regulations in 2008 and 2009.
This has also given the Council an opportunity
to review the original
SCI
following the
adoption of the Core Strategy in July 2008 and the submission of
the Council’s first
AAP
(the
Ashford Town Centre
AAP
) to
the Secretary of State and make amendments where necessary, to
reflect past experiences and the most effective methods of
consultation used to date.
The draft first Review of the Statement of Community Involvement
went out for public consultation from Monday 14th September for a 6
week period and ended on Monday 26th October 2009. After
reviewing all representations, the First Review of the
SCI
was formally
Adopted by Full Council on Thursday 19th November 2009 and
supersedes the original 2006 version.
