question text	To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Murray of Blidworth on 6 December 2022 (HL3643), why they did not produce a statement of community involvement when the consultation on extending planning permission for the accommodation facility at Napier barracks was for this stated purpose.
tabling member printed	The Lord Bishop of Durham
uin	HL5541
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/02/2023 answer text <p>A Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) is normally used in the development of a Local Plan by a local planning authority. However, in the case of a change of use application which was the subject of the Special Development Order (SDO) then an SCI would generally not be required. It is for the developer to decide if they wish to submit an SCI which would usually provide a summary of who, when and how stakeholders had been engaged with. An SCI will not be produced as it is not a requirement of the SDO; however, we have sought to engage with the local community through correspondence and the provision of relevant information on the gov.uk website.</p> answering member printed Lord Murray of Blidworth question first answered 21/02/2023 16:53:00 answering member 4950 label Biography information for Lord Murray of Blidworth

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government when they will publish a statement of community involvement following the consultation on extending planning permission for the accommodation facility at Napier Barracks.
tabling member printed	The Lord Bishop of Durham
uin	HL3643
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2022 answer text <p>The United Kingdom has a statutory obligation to provide support and accommodation to asylum seekers who would otherwise be destitute. The record numbers of individuals illegally crossing the Channel has meant the asylum acommodation system is under immense pressure. Ongoing use of Napier and the development of new accommodation models, are vital to our ability to continue to meet the ongoing demand to accommodate destitute asylum seekers.</p><p>To ensure that this much-needed facility continues to provide accommodation, officials prepared a planning proposal extending our use of Napier until 2025, and on 27 August 2021 we laid a Special Development Order (SDO) which came into effect on 21 September 2021. A statement of community involvement will not be produced as it is not a requirement of the Special Development Order; however, we have sought to engage with the local community through correspondence and the provision of relevant information on the gov.uk website.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Murray of Blidworth question first answered 06/12/2022 15:32:48 answering member 4950 label Biography information for Lord Murray of Blidworth
