PROPOSALS5-POINT CONCORDAT

• The form and delivery of community engagement for
  national and major developments should be agreed
  in advance between the developer, the relevant
  community councils and the Council before the
  Proposal of Application Notice is submitted.
• The Council will encourage full community
  engagement on local developments with a wider
  community interest and the same principles of
  involvement will be promoted.
• Community councils will aim to use all resources
  available to them to encourage comment from as
  wide a range of people as possible on planning
  issues which raise important local issues,
  including the use of neighbourhood partnerships
  to distribute information.
• Developers will empower local communities by
  listening and acting on their views as much as
  possible. Pre-consultation reports should show
  how community views have been considered.
• Planning will work with developers and community
  councils to measure the success of community
  engagement in the planning process.
• Draft July 2009
