In August 2025 the Executive Member for Housing and Development approved a refreshed Statement of Community Involvement (SCI). The SCI sets out how you can get involved in the preparation of planning policies and in neighbourhood planning processes in Manchester. It also lets you know how you can make comments on planning applications received by the Council.
This SCI replaces the previous version adopted in 2018. It has not changed significantly, as we will still use the same engagement methods to involve you. It has had some minor changes, which are summarised in paragraph 1.2 of the SCI.

There is also a hard copy of the SCI in Central Library, St Peter’s Square, Manchester.
