ATTACHMENT 9 Medway Local Development Framework Statement of Community Involvement January 2012 1 2 Summary This document is a new revised version of the Statement of Community Involvement or SCI for Medway. It sets out how the Council will involve local people in planning and development issues affecting Medway. The Council adopted its original SCI in 2006. Since then there have been further changes to the development planning system and consultation bodies have come and gone. For these reasons it is appropriate to update and refresh it now. It includes a short description of the development planning system and Medway Council’s role. However most of the document describes the methods the Council will use to engage with the public and other stakeholders and it lists the main organisations that have expressed an interest in being involved.
