Part 1: Planning Local development documents Section 13: Statements of community involvement
This section amends section 18 of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 to require local planning authorities to set out in their statements of community involvement policies for involving interested parties in the preliminary stages of plan-making. It also allows the Secretary of State to produce regulations which prescribe matters which local planning authorities must address in their statements of community involvement.
