The Panel received the Updated Statement of Community Involvement (SCI).

The report set out the updated SCI as a replacement for the 2012 version.

It had been over 10 years since the Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) was last revised and adopted.  The publishing of a new SCI facilitated Regulation 18 Consultation on the upcoming draft New Harrow Local Plan as it was good practice to ensure that the SCI is updated prior to launching such an extensive borough wide consultation.

The Panel discussed the report, and consequently, unanimously recommended it to Cabinet for adoption.

RESOLVED:  That the Panel:

(1)            notes and comments on the draft SCI and proposed changes;

(2)            notes and comments on the intention not to formally consult on the document; and

(3)            commends the updated Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) to Cabinet for adoption, subject to any legal advice received in relation to not undertaking consultation.
