This report seeks approval to consult on the Draft Ipswich Borough Council Statement of Community Involvement 2025, which outlines key principles of engagement, consultation methods, and guidance on how residents and stakeholders can participate in various aspects of the planning process.
The proposed changes to the Statement of Community Involvement include updates to how the Council plans to notify the public about planning applications. Additionally, the revisions address the recent approved changes to the public opening of the Town Hall, which was a document depository within the adopted Statement of Community Involvement.
It is important that Statements of Community Involvement are kept up to date to ensure effective community involvement at all stages of the planning process.
