<strong>Scarborough</strong> Borough Council: Draft <strong>Statement</strong> <strong>of</strong> Community Involvement Page 19<br />

5.7.4 The Council has a database with all known consultees and interested parties and if<br />

further groups or members <strong>of</strong> the public express an interest they can be added to the<br />

consultee list. Furthermore, anyone who makes representations on an Issues Paper or<br />

any subsequent LDF consultation is automatically kept informed <strong>of</strong> progress.<br />

5.7.5 Appendix 3b categorises the general consultation bodies and organisations that the<br />

Council has consulted with in the past and will continue to do so on future planning<br />

documents.<br />

5.8 How Will I Be Able to Comment?<br />

5.8.1 The Borough Council will make it as easy as possible for you to make your comments<br />

on published documents. You can respond in the following ways:<br />

• Returning Paper Forms attached to published documents by post or at designated<br />

collection points; e.g. <strong>Scarborough</strong> Town Hall, Filey Evron Centre, Whitby<br />

Council Offices.<br />

• Completing online forms electronically (you will be able to print out your<br />

comments for your own records).<br />

• By E-Mail direct to Forward Planning.<br />

• Returning Forms or Letters by Fax.<br />

• By bespoke letter.<br />

• By telephoning your comments.<br />

5.9 What Will Happen to my Comments?<br />

5.9.1 If you make representations, your details will be kept on our database and you will be<br />

kept informed <strong>of</strong> progress as follows:<br />

• All respondents will receive a letter <strong>of</strong> acknowledgement within 5 working<br />

days.<br />

• All relevant comments submitted will be recorded, considered and along with<br />

the Officers’ response taken before the relevant Committee.<br />

• Feedback will be available for inspection as soon as possible following<br />

completion <strong>of</strong> consultation periods and consideration <strong>of</strong> the issues raised.<br />

• The reports prepared for the appropriate Committee Meeting will be available<br />

on the Council’s Website or to view at Council Offices prior to the meeting.<br />

• Where there are objections that are capable <strong>of</strong> resolution the Council will<br />

negotiate with objectors.<br />

5.10 Other Methods <strong>of</strong> Community Engagement (Community Strategy and Other<br />

Plans)<br />

5.10.1 Outside <strong>of</strong> the normal consultation procedures and community engagement<br />

encouraged by the Local Planning Authority, members <strong>of</strong> the public and interested<br />

groups can become involved in consultation exercises on related strategies and plans<br />

which will have a direct impact on the content <strong>of</strong> the LDF.<br />
