The council is currently preparing a Statement of Community Involvement which will set out how the Council will engage and consult with the community on planning policies and on planning applications. It includes details about who will be involved, consulted with and how and when this will be done.
Disclaimer

Decision notices will be available to view within three days of applications being determined. Copies of all the drawings and associated documents are also available for viewing at the Huyton Library, Civic Way, Knowsley, L36 9GD. To discuss making an appointment call 0151 443 2381. Please be aware you will only be seen with an appointment.
Whilst every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the data, some of the planning information contained within the site is at present incomplete, prior to 1 January 2007, and must not be used as a substitute for carrying out a formal Land Charge Search. This includes details of historic applications and constraints on a particular site. No responsibility will be taken for any errors or omissions in the planning information obtained from Public Access. Similarly the information contained does not constitute in any way a formal notification of a planning decision, and as such any actions taken as a result of information displayed on the site are undertaken entirely at the viewer’s own risk.
