Covers the policy framework for community involvement, the criteria for assessment, the 21 draft SCIs assessed in the region, local authority consultation and the findings from the assessment. Concludes that there is still some way to go to ensure that real opportunities for community involvement are created and that the production of coherent and meaningful SCIs is undermined by a lack of resources and a skills deficiency within the planning service.
