Statement of Community Involvement
Representation ID: 92153

Respondent: Mrs Svetlana Ignatieva
It is commendable that there is a Statement of Community Involvement in place, however it is not clear what to do when such statement is not adhered to? The communication with the community on SIL 02 - Silica Sand at Shouldham and Marham has clearly failed, as the residents only found out a few days before the 13.08.2018 deadline, despite the plans being in development since 2015. The residents did not have sufficient time to review the documents and prepare objections, and there is no effective mechanism to raise concerns about the process.
