DRAFT CAMBRIDGESHIRE STATEMENT OF COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT The County Council is required to have a Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) 1 Page 5 of 214 which sets out how stakeholders, including the local community, district and parish councils, and statutory consultees, can participate in the land use planning processes which are undertaken by the County Council in its role as the Mineral and Waste, and County Planning Authority. The current SCI was approved in 2014 and under ‘The Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2017’ requires to be reviewed no less than every 5 years. The report invited the Committee to consider the draft Cambridgeshire Statement of Community Involvement 2018 setting out how the community can be involved in mineral and waste land use planning activities undertaken by the County Council in its role as the Mineral and Waste Planning Authority. The draft SCI covers the following land use planning activities setting out who, and how, the County Council would consult on them: The preparation of mineral and waste planning policy (local plan, supplementary planning documents); The preparation of the Local Enforcement Plan; and The determination of the planning applications for mineral and waste management development; and the County Council’s own development proposals. The report also detailed how people can engage with Members, and the democratic processes of the Council. Issues raised by Members in the discussion included: It was suggested that it would be useful to list all those who were strategic partners to be the subject of consultation with. In reply it was explained that detail on this was provided in Appendix 1with the point made that anyone interested in the planning process could get involved. As a supplementary, the same Member queried how the Committee members were meant to know if any strategic partners had been missed from the list. The Chairman suggested that it was all councillors responsibility as local representatives to help publicise the consultation with their parish councils and other potentially interested local organisations. It was resolved unanimously to: a) Approve the draft Cambridgeshire Statement of Community Involvement (Appendix 1 of this report) for the purpose of public consultation commencing in autumn 2018. b) Delegate to the Executive Director, Place and Economy in consultation with the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Committee, the authority to make any minor non-consequential amendments to the consultation document attached to the officer’s report, prior to consultation. 2 Page 6 of 214 148. KENNET GARDEN VILLAGE EXTENSION – OUTLINE PLANNING APPLICATION COSULTATION REPORT This report had been withdrawn to allow further discussions on the planning application. 149. ANNUAL UPDATE FROM CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND PETERBOROUGH TRADING STANDARDS SHARED SERVICE REPORT On 1st April 2017 Cambridgeshire County Council’s Trading Standards Service merged with Peterborough City Council’s Trading Standards Service to become ‘Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Trading Standards’, overseen by Peterborough City Council’s Head of Regulatory Services. It was agreed that combined service should bring an annual update report to this Committee to keep Members informed of its activities, and to provide the opportunity for Members to steer priorities and direction of the service within Cambridgeshire. Appendix 1 of the report contained the annual report. Areas highlighted in respect of the Service included that: the merger of the two services had proved highly successful, with all but one of the merger objectives achieved within 2017-18 and projected financial savings realised and performance objectives met. The Service was also on target to meet its 2018-19 savings target. The final objective outstanding was to implement a shared database with a target date in anticipation of the systems merger in the autumn and also moving it to a web based platform. Intelligence-led tasking was operating well across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, giving a greater picture of trends and issues across both authorities, and with a greater ‘pool’ of officers to whom intervention work would be allocated, making the best use of limited resources.
