(To receive a report from the Executive Director – Place, which invites the Executive to endorse the Proposed Statement of Community Involvement, attached to the report as Appendix C, and recommend to the full County Council that it is adopted as the final Statement of Community Involvement)

That the Proposed Statement of Community Involvement, as detailed at Appendix C to the report, be endorsed and recommended to the full County Council for adoption as the final Statement of Community Involvement.

Consideration was given to a report from the Executive Director – Place, which presented the proposed Statement of Community Involvement (SCI).

The Minerals and Waste Policy Team Leader reminded the Executive that the County Council was currently undertaking a statutory review of its existing SCI, which had been published in 2014 and set out how the County Council would engage and consult the public and stakeholders with respect to the preparation of minerals and waste planning policy documents, and the determination of planning and related applications.

On 18 December 2018, the Executive had approved a Draft SCI for public consultation, which had taken place from 21 January – 4 March 2019.  The comments from that consultation exercise had been considered and, where appropriate, modifications had been put forward and incorporated into a proposed SCI which was set out at Appendix C to the report.

Subject to endorsement by the Executive, the proposed SCI would be considered for adoption by the meeting of the County Council on 13 September 2019. 

It was highlighted that the Environment and Economy Scrutiny Committee had considered the Executive report on 9 July 2019.   The Committee had supported the adoption of the proposed SCI.  Comments of the Committee were detailed on pages 799 – 800 of the Executive report.

RESOLVED

That the Proposed Statement of Community Involvement, as detailed at Appendix C to the report, be endorsed and recommended to the full County Council for adoption as the final Statement of Community Involvement.
