Engagement with our communities and stakeholders has always been a very important part of the planning process in South Staffordshire.
Our award-winning approach is made up of a mixture of traditional methods of engagement, moving towards a more digital approach, in line with government guidance.
Statement of Community Involvement
We have an adopted Statement of Community Involvement (SCI), which is a requirement of all local planning authorities.
It sets out how we will consult with local communities, statutory bodies, and other organisations for both planning applications and Local and Neighbourhood Plans.
It was adopted in June 2019 and will be updated to reflect changes when necessary, in legislation and good practice.
Making comments online
The council is moving to a new council wide engagement platform, which will be used for all consultations going forward, including the Local Plan. You can sign up here making sure you tick the Local Plans option.
To make comments on planning applications please see Public Access.
