April 2024: Joint Statement of Community Involvement (SCI)

All Local Planning Authorities are legally required to prepare and publish a Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) and ensure it is kept up to date.

An SCI seeks to describe how the public, businesses and interest groups within Adur and Worthing can get involved in Planning Policy, Neighbourhood Planning, Conservation Area Reviews and the planning application decision-making process.

Adur & Worthing Councils are two separate Councils but have a shared officer structure and thus a single joint SCI.

Adur & Worthing Councils have prepared a new up-to-date SCI (the previous SCI was published in 2019, with the Interim Joint Statement of Community Involvement being published in August 2021).
