The Adopted Statement of Community Involvement

Ashfield District Council adopted its first SCI in November 2006. Since its adoption, the Government issued new regulations (2008) and related policy guidance that has changed the way in which Local Development Framework documents should be prepared. In light of this, a revised SCI has been prepared. The original SCI has now been archived and is available from the archived documents web page.
