Statement of Community Involvement
In 2004, the Government introduced a new planning system
through the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act. One of the main
requirements of this new system is that the community should be
more involved in the planning process. Consequently, all local
planning authorities are required to prepare a Statement of
Community Involvement (SCI). The SCI explains how we will
consult residents, businesses, parish councils and other community
groups before making decisions on planning applications and when
preparing new planning documents.

Inspector's Report
Previously the Peterborough SCI had been submitted
to the Secretary of State in May 2007. At the same time we carried
out a six-week period of public consultation. At the end of the
consultation period, on 20, June 2007, we received some
representations. All the representations received were sent to the
independent Planning Inspector who had been appointed to examine
the SCI. An informal hearing on the SCI was held on 21,
November 2007.
Following the informal hearing, the Council received the
Inspector's binding report on 5, December 2007. The Inspector was
satisfied that all the legal requirements for the preparation of
the document were met and in particular that its preparation
accorded with the Local Development Scheme (LDS). He concluded that
subject to minor changes being incorporated into the final SCI, the
document was sound.
The Inspector's binding
report is available to view or download.
The SCI forms part of the Peterborough Local Development Framework
(LDF) and all documents produced as part of the LDF process
will be prepared in accordance with the standards set out in the
SCI.
