The Emerging Neighbourhood Plan Drafts
Previous Vision
Shoreham Beach will maintain and enhance its eclectic character through a balance between innovative, high-quality, neighbourly development and conservation, which meets the needs of both residents and visitors, ensuring that the neighbourhood thrives as a place to live, work and enjoy a range of community and leisure activities.
​
Shoreham Beach will be a quiet, low emission neighbourhood with the flexibility to accommodate visitors during peak seasons. The flow of people on and off the beach will be safe and smooth. Young and old can choose to travel locally without relying on the car.
​
Revised Vision (after consultation)
Shoreham Beach aims to maintain and enhance its unique character through responsible development, innovative architecture and the conservation of nature and heritage. A special place to live, work, relax, and enjoy community and leisure activities.
It is desired that Shoreham Beach will be a peaceful, low emission neighbourhood with the flexibility to welcome and accommodate visitors during peak seasons. The flow of people on and off the beach will be safe and smooth.
Young and old can choose to travel locally without relying on the car. It will be easy to choose active transport to maintain a healthy lifestyle during our daily commute - helping us to be more able in later life.

How we chose the key issues:
We originally conducted a Character Study of the neighbourhood and a household survey. This information has been combined with multiple face-to-face and online discussions, workshops, polls and data from other sources (such as the Census and ONS projections) to create the most accurate data possible - to reflect the characteristics of all residents. See our community engagement factsheet. We formed working groups to address each of the key issues. These working groups have reviewed the Have Your Say Day Draft Policy Feedback, plus online feedback and "What if" feedback about AECOM's 'What if" options and are working on the next revision.

We are obliged to follow a specific process and must meet Basic Conditions specified by law. See our Frequently Asked Questions page for more details.
