Community Involvement can be through a planned set of consultation events about policy to guide development
Local PolicyThis is what is happening with the present consultation process for the Bristol Development Framework (BDF), the emerging strategic planning policy document that will set how development happens in Bristol over the next 20 years.  A number of consultation events have been held over the last 5 years for the various stages of the Bristol Development Framework (BDF). The Core Strategy Publication Version is out for consultation until
15th January 2010. It will then be submitted to the Secretary of State for independent examination by an inspector. Reports of the meetings are on the Bristol City Council website.
Further meetings will be held in 2010 for the next stages of the BDF which will cover the Bristol Central Area Action Plan and the Site Allocations and Development Management Development Plan Document.
Government guidance on how the consultation process for the Development Framework should be run is set out in Planning Policy Statement 12 See PPS12 Consultation on the proposed RSS ran in 2006 and the draft RSS for the South West was submitted to the Government in April 2006. Amendments were then proposed to the draft RSS by the Secretary of State in July 2008. These included a proposal that Bristol should accommodate an additional 36,500 new dwellings. The amendments have not been accepted and the amendments are being reassessed. National PolicyThere are also Community Involvement events and consultation on the new Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) Policies for Transport and Energy eg Ports, Road and Power Stations
