Pre Application monitoring

The community involvement process for NPN groups is monitored by a group of volunteers who ensure that the developer can engage with the most appropriate network planning group or groups.

In order to raise the standard of community involvement, the pre app monitoring group also check the CIS, community involvement statements, submitted with the major planning applications with the network groups and write a brief summary for the case officers to make use of in their report to committee.

The quality of CI can be considered when taking the decision.

This has been reinforced by the statement in the National Planning Policy Framework 
66. Applicants will be expected to work closely with those directly affected by their proposals to evolve designs that take account of the views of the community. Proposals that can demonstrate this in developing the design of the new development should be looked on more favourably.
