Enquiry
Vattenfall sent their draft Statement of Community Consultation to the Planning Inspectorate for comment.
Advice given
Your SoCC states that consultation is open to all with an interest in the project but there is no specific information on how you plan to engage with hard to reach communities. You may wish to consider how your SoCC, and in due course, your Consultation Report, demonstrates your strategy for such groups, for example, groups that have limited literacy skills or due to disabilities are unable to partake in your public events.
Please note that the SoCC needs to be published in such a manner that may be prescribed to comply with s47(6)(b) of the Act.
