Statement of Community Involvement

Our Statement of Community Involvement was adopted in June 2024 and will be kept under review. 

It explains how we will inform and involve the community in deciding planning applications and preparing planning policy for the OPDC area. 

It also sets out requirements for developers to consult the community about their proposals. The Statement of Community Involvement should be read alongside our Community Engagement Strategy.
