  • Application for re-designation to finish The Plan

    Application for re-designation to finish The Plan Published in the 2020 Spring Edition of Beach News The Beach’s Neighbourhood Forum representing Marine Ward was designated for five years in November 2014. By November 2019, the Forum’s allotted legal tenure ran out. Forum Officers have sent an application to re-designate the Area & Forum for another 5-year period to enable the completion of its work. Re-designation is administered by Adur District Council and likely to take about three months from receipt of our application including a public consultation. When its redesignation is confirmed, the Forum will pass the final Neighbourhood Plan [Version 5] back to the Council for comments and will organise its final ‘HAVE YOUR SAY DAY’ to run immediately after the Forum AGM for members to confirm or change the Committee Officers. Any residents’ comments on the plan offerred at the HYSD could require the Forum to fine-tune the plan before its transmission to the Council. When the final Beach Neighbourhood Plan [Version 5] is accepted by ADC, the Forum will have completed its work and ADC will organise independent inspection of the plan. When that is finally passed, the Council will administer all aspects of a public referendum for the Beach electorate to decide. The Forum wants this process to happen during 2020. The Forum’s Committee Officers wish to acknowledge and thank both the Beach community for its patience and the support of every Forum volunteer for giving freely of their time and hard work since November, 2014. We will keep you informed of progress and next steps. In the meantime, the website will still be available as a valuable community resource for promoting local development and sustainability initiatives.

  • Green Space & Community Facilities survey now online

    Green Space & Community Facilities survey now online If you want to shape the future of our neighbourhood and have any views on issues like the Beach Green cafe or skate parks on the beach - if you want the facts and would like some control - fill in this questionnaire! So far we've heard strong views about our open spaces, social places and school spaces. This workshop refines ideas and opinions about all the key sites on Shoreham Beach. The Neighbourhood Forum (SBNF) is not making any proposals at this stage, but is enabling as many local residents and businesses as possible to input to the next stage - the development of draft policies. If you live or work on Shoreham Beach (and were UNABLE to attend our Have Your say day in February 2016) this is your opportunity to take part. Please share with any local residents or businesses that have an interest in the future of our area.

  • Final Report on concepts for school expansion and Beach Green development by independent planning sp

    Final Report on concepts for school expansion and Beach Green development by independent planning sp Final report: http://bit.ly/sbnf-aecom-report-L Background Many ideas, suggestions and options about development opportunities have emerged from our community engagement work over the past two years. Inevitably there are competing views – what to some residents is an opportunity to improve the Beach may be seen as a threat by others. Moreover, some developments could be implemented in the first five years of the plan period, whereas others will not be feasible until later and may eventually prove to be non-deliverable within the 15 year life-time of the Neighbourhood Plan. The Shoreham Beach Neighbourhood Forum made a successful bid for an Urban Design Consultancy Package from the Government programme for supporting communities preparing Neighbourhood Plans. Thus independent planning and urban design consultants AECOM have prepared sketch schemes to help Beach residents to more fully understand the potential development opportunities which have been identified by residents. Objective Ideas for potential development up to 2031 These schemes are not firm proposals but they are technically feasible. They were presented to enable residents to discuss them with independent external professionals and express their opinions (or offer alternatives). Feedback from residents was reviewed by AECOM and SBNF as an evidence base for site specific interventions across the Neighbourhood Plan area. Following on from the consultation exercise, it was agreed that there was sufficient interest in delivering an improved school facility to warrant the preparation of two additional spatial options. Consequently, AECOM prepared the following options: Beach Green Option 3 This option is based on Beach Green Option 2, but with a primary school instead of residential development on the car park. As with Beach Green Option 2, the car park moves towards the middle of the open space. Split School Site Several consultees suggested retaining the school site in some form of community use. Following on from these suggestions, it was agreed that there might be merit in looking at a school option which provided for nursery and Key Stage 1 (up to 7 years) in a new facility on the existing site and Key Stage 2 (7-11) in a new facility on the Harbour Way Industrial site. Both of these new facilities would provide additional community provision for the wider community, which would be available outside school hours. This short report comprises the following: • Section 2 of the document sets out the rationale for choosing the sites which formed the basis of the options exercise; • Section 3 provides detail as to the options; • Section 4 records the responses from the public events held in October 2016; • Section 5 offers additional spatial options arising from that consultation exercise, and • Section 6 provides a summary of the outputs. Final report: http://bit.ly/sbnf-aecom-report-L All feedback from October 2016 Have Your Say Days: http://bit.ly/hysd16-feedback-aecom #BeachGreen #school #design #AECOM #planning #housing
