Community consultation requirement for shared meanwhile uses

Everyone should have the same opportunity for improved life expectancy and health and wellbeing no matter where they live. The key to a healthier life comes from being involved in the community, being able to make choices, to access secure employment, feel safe within inclusive public spaces, being socially connected and feeling fulfilled as a valued citizen. Strategies and proposals for shared meanwhile uses submitted as part of a planning application should be accompanied by a community consultation statement. This is required to demonstrate the robustness of the consultation process with the community and appropriate stakeholders.
