Brief Description of Decision:

To adopt the revised Statement of Community Involvement

Reasons for the Decision:

It is a legislative requirement that the Council has a Statement of Community Involvement for planning-related consultations and reviews it every five years. The last revision to the SCI was October 2019.

Adopt the SCI incorporating the proposed changes would show a continued engagement between the Council with local communities, stakeholders and other statutory consultees and would result in the adoption of an up to date and fit for purpose document.

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

To have an out-of-date SCI would not reflect an appropriate response or to show continued encouraging engagement in the planning process, with communities and stakeholders of Rotherham and a range of other statutory consultees.

Conflicts of interest declared by any Executive Member consulted by the decision maker which relates to the decision:

None
