Statement of Community Involvement (SCI)

Currently there are five Statements of Community Involvement (SCI) for the West Northamptonshire Area.

Firstly an SCI which was adopted in September 2021 to deal solely with how the we will consult with the community, partners and stakeholders on what was then termed the Strategic Plan, now the new Local Plan.

West Northamptonshire's three former district councils also produced SCIs that dealt with how the they would consult with the community, partners and stakeholders in the production of Local Plans, Neighbourhood Plans, Supplementary Planning Documents, Conservation Area reviews and the determination of Planning Applications. These are still operational for the relevant parts of the West Northamptonshire area.

A draft SCI has been prepared which harmonises 4 of the 5 SCIs into a single SCI, dealing with all relevant matters for the whole of West Northamptonshire. This is being consulted on from Tuesday 1 July 2025 to Monday 25 August 2025.

Please note the fifth SCI is for the Minerals and Waste Local Plan. This will remain in force for applications submitted for mineral and waste development.
