We write Statements of Community Involvement (SCIs) – documents which provide information on the actions taken by you to build relationships with neighbours and others whose interests or activities may be affected by your proposals.
It is a requirement of the Planning & Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 to encourage early involvement of stakeholders in the process of any planning application. Since the Act came into force, developers must provide Local Development Documents (LDDs) and Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs).
The Statement of Community Involvement forms one of these SPDs. Sometimes overlooked at the start of the planning process, it often proves to be one of the most influential, affecting the granting of planning consent.
Considering an SCI from the inception of the project avoids delay and can save money in realising your objective of securing your plans. Our service will save you time, ensures your strategy is objective, complements your business case and maximises your prospects of success.
We take care of the surveys, exhibitions, manage the media, liaise with opinion formers, decision makers and technical teams to ensure the positive perception of you, your business and your plans.
A professionally prepared SCI can help you avoid any costly consequences.
