Adopted Statement of Community Involvement 2025
The Statement of Community Involvement sets out how and when local communities can get involved in the planning process. It explains who will be consulted, how that consultation will happen and when it will take place both in respect of new planning policy documents and individual planning applications.
A public consultation on the draft Statement of Community Involvement was held between 14 August 2024 and 27 September 2024. The representations received have been taken into account when finalising the document.
The Statement of Community Involvement was adopted by Bedford Borough Council on 22 January 2025.
