Statement of Community Involvement
This sets out how South Cambridgeshire District Council and Cambridge City Council will involve communities on a wide range of planning matters throughout the planning process.
Planning affects the lives of everyone who lives, works, and visits Greater Cambridge. It is essential that people have an opportunity to engage in the decisions the councils make.
We want to actively engage with the community and have drawn up a consultation strategy for planning which sets out how and when we will involve the community and key stakeholders in preparing our plans and guidance to guide future development in Greater Cambridge. It will also explain how we will involve the community in planning applications.
The best, and most effective, results happen when community engagement starts at an early stage. Early engagement means that you can have more input into how future growth and development will happen across Greater Cambridge.
Your local knowledge will help ensure that development in Greater Cambridge benefits the community as a whole, while protecting that which makes this area special.
