Minutes:
Cabinet considered the report of the Cabinet Member for Planning and Housing Strategy that sought acknowledgement of the responses to the public consultation on the Statement of Community Involvement (SCI), endorsement of the changes made to the draft SCI resulting from the consultation, and adoption of the revised SCI.
The Cabinet Member for Planning and Housing Strategy summarised the report. She reminded Members that the revised SCI met and, in some areas, exceeded national requirements (3.8). She further drew their attention to the commitment to involve `harder to reach’ groups (Appendix 2 3.22) and in particular young people as evidenced by the consultation with schools, colleges and universities (3.10). The Cabinet Member for Communities and Neighbourhoods commended the Cabinet Member for Planning and Housing Strategy and Planning Team for increasing residents’ participation in Council matters thus empowering communities.
