The Addendum to the SCI is needed in order to set out the variation in arrangements to depositing relevant documents associated with the Local Plan. Documents will be published on-line but hard copies cannot be made available for Inspection during the novel coronavirus pandemic. Publication of documents will be publicised extensively in a range of ways with a named officer's contact details available in case a person has difficulty accessing the digital copies of the documents.

The Head of Planning Services had submitted a report to seek Cabinet approval of  an addendum to the Oxford City Council Statement of Community Involvement in Planning 2015 in relation to the Coronavirus disease pandemic.

The Cabinet Member for Planning & Housing Delivery introduced the report by explaining that it simply sought to make changes to the Statement of Community Involvement in Planning necessitated by Covid-19.

Cabinet resolved to:

Approve the Addendum to the Statement of Community Involvement in Planning 2015 (set out at Appendix 1 to the report).
