Consultations provide you with an opportunity to have your say. They also help us to find out what you think and to understand your priorities and concerns.

Statement of Community Involvement Refresh

We Asked

Your preferred methods of engagement and communication in relation to planning policy issues and for planning applications.

You Said

A total of 159 responses were received (157 on line and 2 by paper).

When asked how you would like to be informed of new planning policies, new planning applications and how to be made aware of decisions on applications, the majority of people expressed a preference for being notified by email.

In responses to the questions on how best to participate in planning policy issues and how developers should consult with communities regarding their proposals, a variety of responses were received.

Further analysis of this survey is being undertaken which will provide more detail on the range of answers to each question. The written comments provided in response to a number of the questions are also being collated and considered/assessed
