Applications types specified need to be supported by a statement setting out how the applicant has complied with the requirements for pre-application consultation set out in the local planning authority’s adopted statement of community involvement and demonstrating that the views of the local community have been sought and taken into account in the formulation of development proposals. Further guidance on Statements of Community Involvement is available in Chapter 7 of Creating Local Development Frameworks: A Companion Guide to PPS12 (November 2004).
