Brentwood Council is consulting on how it involves the community and stakeholders in preparing its local plan and how the community will be consulted on planning applications.
The authority is asking for comments on its Draft Brentwood Borough Council Statement of Community Involvement.
It also seeks to ensure the involvement of local communities and stakeholders throughout the process.
You can view the document at www.brentwood.gov.uk/consultingyou or at the Town Hall and libraries in Brentwood, Shenfield and Ingatestone.
If you would like to comment on the document you can send comments to the council by 5pm on November 30 to planning.policy@brentwood.gov.uk or to Planning Policy, Brentwood Borough Council, Town Hall, Ingrave Road, Brentwood, CM15 8AY.
