The SCI is the document which sets out how the Council intends to involve and consult residents of the City on the preparation of plans forming part of its Local Development Framework (LDF) and on new planning applications. The Council adopted the Council's SCI on 24 January 2007. This followed the publication of the Planning Inspector's 'binding report' in October 2006 which found that the draft SCI, as submitted to the Secretary of State, was sound subject to some minor amendments
