Decision details

Southend Statement of Community Involvement

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Decision:

The Cabinet considered a report of the Deputy Chief Executive and Executive Director (Growth and Housing) concerning the adoption of the Southend Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) 2020  and the SCI Addendum in connection with the South Essex Plan..

         

Recommended:

 

1. That the Southend Statement of Community Involvement (Appendix 1 to the submitted report) and Statement of Community Involvement Addendum for the South Essex Plan (Appendix 2 to the report), be adopted.

 

2. That the consultation responses to the Southend Statement of Community Involvement and responses received on the Statement of Community Involvement Addendum for the Southend South Essex Plan, be noted.

 

3. That delegated authority be granted to the Deputy Chief Executive and Executive Director (Growth & Housing) and the Cabinet Member for Environment and Planning (or equivalent role should this title change) to make any appropriate amendments to the Statement of Community Involvement and Addendum.

 

Other Options

 

Not to update to SCI or Addendum - this is not seen as a credible option as Development Plan Document preparation must be consistent with national legislation and be in compliance with the SCI and it is seen as good practice to update SCI’s periodically. The revised SCI and Addendum ensures that the Council’s approach to consulting the public and other stakeholders on planning matters remains up-to-date.

 

Reason for Recommendation

 

The SCI has been produced to ensure the Council’s approach to community involvement within planning reflects national legislation and continues to be up-to-date.The SCI Addendum will ensure a consistent basis for conducting consultation on the emerging SEP across South Essex authorities.
