Lambeth Draft Revised Statement of Community
Involvement (SCI) for planning matters
Consultation Questionnaire
Lambeth Council has produced a draft revised
Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) for
public consultation.
An SCI sets out how and when stakeholders will
be involved in development plan preparation
and consulted on planning applications.
The current SCI was adopted in April 2008. It is
now out-of-date due to changes in planning
legislation.
It has also been updated to reflect the council’s
co-operative working practices, recent budget
cuts to the council, more widespread use of
new technology and the internet for
consultations, and to provide a more
environmentally sustainable service.
The main areas of change are:
 Limiting neighbour notification letters to
those that share a boundary with the
development site. The council proposes to
continue sending neighbour notification
letters for all planning applications.
 Including more information on the planning
process in the initial notification letters
 No longer providing physical copies of
planning applications in libraries. These are
available to view free of charge on the library
computers.
 Where site notices are not required by
legislation, the council will ask developers to
put one up
 No longer placing a public notice in the local
paper for planning policy consultations
