See the plans for Shoreham Harbour at Pond Rd: 10 Nov-22nd December Shoreham Harbour Regeneration Partnership JAAP - consultation announcement: An ambitious 15-year plan for the renaissance of Shoreham Harbour has been published which could see 1,400 riverside homes built and hundreds of jobs created. The docklands revival plan could provide a much-needed boost for the area, transforming it into a vibrant, thriving neighbourhood. Restaurants, shops, office space and cycle ways are also planned together with a new multi-million pound flood defence scheme. It is one of the biggest regeneration projects across the south east. Adur District Council leader Neil Parkin claimed the proposals could lead to a stunning revival for the area, saying: “This has taken five years of hard work but I think it has been worth it.” “It sets out a blueprint for the Harbour which will transform it into a destination of choice providing quality homes, jobs and a fantastic waterside environment for everyone.” “The joint efforts alongside the other councils toward making this ambitious project sustainable will have a big impact on improving the entire area for the wider community.” Among the proposals in the 120 page blueprint are: New waterfront walking/cycling route from Shoreham to Kingston Beach. 1,400 new homes, including affordable housing. 23,500 sqm new employment floorspace, including offices. Green corridor alongside A259 - improving environment, air quality, reducing noise pollution. District heat network - providing affordable, low carbon heat. Port operations will be concentrated in the eastern end of the harbour, freeing land for redevelopment. This scheme is set to repurpose this underused as an integral part of the revitalisation of the area. Emphasis has also been placed on enhancing the waterfront's natural appeal as a watersport destination with big plans to create a safe place to get active on the River Adur. Bob Lanzer, West Sussex County Council Cabinet Member for Highways and Infrastructure, said: “This is an exciting plan which will bring about long-term regeneration and support economic growth on the West Sussex coast for existing and new residents, ports users, and visitors alike.” “It will help to maintain capacity for transporting minerals alongside redevelopment and investment in transport and other community infrastructure.” Cllr Julie Cattell, lead member for planning at Brighton & Hove City Council, said: “ This regeneration scheme will see the transformation of Shoreham Harbour by creating a vibrant, exciting hub for this popular but all too often neglected area.” “The scheme will also bring much-needed jobs, housing and office space to Shoreham, and shows what can be achieved when different local authorities work in partnership.” The plans will be available for public view from 10th November to 22nd December 2017 with an invitation for comments on its overall legal compliance. Both hard copies and digitised documents will be available during these dates at the Shoreham Centre in Pond Road, Hove Town Hall, Norton Road and Bartholomew House in Brighton as well as libraries across the area. How will this affect Shoreham Beach? + View Large Image + Another 1,400 homeowners will be gazing across the river and wanting to come and visit 'their' beach. We need to do all we can to ensure they come by bike / foot / bus or low-emission shared cars whenever if possible - rather than clogging up roads in private cars. The proposed new cafe could hire all the watersport equipment and provide changing rooms, meaning there's no need to travel by van. Could this pave the way for a small ferry crossing ?... and long term... maybe even another footbridge on the eastern end of The Beach. Many locals have mentioned the need for a decent public slipway. The Shoreham Slipways Group have proposed a design for Humphrey's Gap which accommodates the riverside path. At this stage, it is just a concept - it has not (yet?) been incorporated into the official scheme. The Harbour Regeneration project is not within the designated neighbourhood plan area, but will affect all Shoreham Beach residents in some way. You are invited to comment on the legal compliance of the plans from 10th November to 22nd December 2017 at the Shoreham Centre in Pond Road as well as libraries across the area. #flooddefences #employment #housing #heritage #survey #river #cycling

Special Meeting to Amend Constitution Existing Neighbourhood Forum members are invited to attend a Special General Meeting online. We need to make a small change to the constitution to align with the rules of our new bank account. Thurs 20 January, 7pm, online via video conference Members Only (10 - 25 participants) SUMMARY: We need at least 10 members of the Forum to attend an online meeting to approve a minor change to the Constitution. This is also an opportunity to present our community engagement plans for feedback, suggestions and volunteers. We will send an invite by email and members can RSVP here: https://www.shorehambeachforum.com/rsvp DETAILS: The Forum needs more funding for community engagement to finalise the Neighbourhood Plan. The vast majority of funding is via grant applications - deposited to a qualifying bank account. However, the banking conditions have changed and now the Forum’s bank will only provide accounts on the basis that any one signatory can approve a transaction. This requires a small change to the wording in the Constitution. Currently, the Constitution requires two signatories to sign a cheque (paragraph 10.1) and that the Treasurer must be authorised by the committee to operate the account online (paragraph 10.2). The Treasurer has proposed the following motion: CHANGE 10.1 ... Three cheque signatories will be nominated by the Committee (one to be the Treasurer). Any two of these must sign every cheque. TO “... Three cheque signatories will be nominated by the Committee (one to be the Treasurer). Any one signatory to sign” DELETE 10.2 “The committee must authorise the Treasurer to make any online banking payments” This change is purely technical to satisfy the bank's terms and conditions and makes no practical difference to the way the Forum will operate its finances. It is essential that the account be set up as soon as possible as this will enable the Forum to apply for additional funding, necessary to fund the website, surveys, promotion and engagement.

Join the Green Working Group Much has been done to prepare for the last Have Your Say Events earlier this month which I hope you may have had the chance to attend. However much remains to be done: We have gathered plenty of feedback forms which we need to process and act upon. Policies remain to be refined and possibly some still to be defined. There are some very exciting prospects and projects that could emerge from all this public engagement and body of evidence that has been gathered over the past 2 years. It is so wonderful to witness a Neighbourhood coming together to talk about issues that matters to them, their family and community - whatever they may be. Within the Green & Blue Neighbourhood group (renamed after considering how much blue our green neighbourhood was made of on the Beach!). We will continue looking at ways to achieve a sustainable community and seek to further protect the 'Green and Blue' spaces on the Beach - and finalise the relevant policies. Some of these issues could be further defined with a 'statutory policy. ' Others will appear in the 'non-statutory' part of the Neighbourhood Plan: ideas and wishes to include threads and projects that could be made viable via the gathering of like-minded people and brought to action. People who want to make a difference within and for their community. We will be further focused on working together with residents and 'friends of...' groups already working for - and with - the community - on the Beach. We will be creating links with the different local organisations and stakeholders, to secure more manpower and other potential opportunities for financial support to projects. We intend to explore ways of accessing funding to make things happen. We will explore what corridors and rain gardens are. We will engage with flooding issues and the Environment Agency Tidal Walls scheme . We will look at sustainable energy: we will be working with our children to help them define what they love so much about the Beach and what kind of Neighbourhood they want when they grow up! The debate remains open, ideas and intentions can manifest where there is a will. This Forum is a platform, it generates policies and witnesses the genesis of many ideas. As a member of the Shoreham Beach Community your input in this Plan is very valuable, even crucial. If you think you would have a bit of time to meet up as a group to drive action and ideas forward. Please check this page for an update of the work so far and to join the group http://www.shorehambeachforum.com/green-neighbourhood I would be delighted to hear from you. Kind regards, Gwenn Parker-Trégoat #flooddefences

New Beach Boardwalk Extension in May 2018 and NP Draft Policy Adur Council is planning to start building the boardwalk extension to Forthaven in May 2018. Here you will find the planned route and notification to residents. Our own research and consultations suggest that a westward boardwalk to Beach Green and beyond is needed even more. Why is it needed? With increasing numbers of visitors, the boardwalk provides access to those less able to walk on the shingle and reduces impact upon the rare vegetation. This heat map shows the routes the popularity of the existing boardwalk for those who track their walking and running activity. You can see that a lot of people continue westward along the shingle towards Beach Green. Where do people access the water? This activity map (made by users of the fitness tracker app) shows the routes people take across the beach to access the water - see more detailed map here > It will be interesting to see if the new eastward boardwalk extension enables an increase in water activity in that area... although this is limited due to the popularity of fishing > and associated waste at the West breakwater of Shoreham Port. Draft Neighbourhood Plan Policy TM4: Boardwalk Extension to the west The Plan strongly supports the extension of the pedestrian boardwalk westwards to the proposed new Beach Green cafe and from Beach Green to Widewater lagoon - as outlined in the Beach Green Master Plan Policy NR 4. The Rationale: Improve pedestrian safety and reduce clashes with cars and cyclists by extending the pedestrian boardwalk westwards to the new Beach Green cafe and from Beach Green to Widewater lagoon. Find out more here about the draft policy here: http://bit.ly/sbnf-plan-latest Beach Green Draft Master Plan: http://bit.ly/sbnf-beach-green-master-plan Transport & Movement Workshop 2016: http://bit.ly/trans-report-feb2016 Notification from ADC Engineering Services: Following the successful completion of Phases 1 and 2 of the Shoreham Beach walkway, tenders for Phase 3 of the project were issued on Friday 23 February, and construction of the walkway is likely to commence on site in May 2018. The above plan ( click to enlarge ) shows the route of the Phase 3 walkway. The works are to be undertaken by the Council under its Permitted Development Rights, these rights are also known as “permitted development” (PD) as set out in The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (Amended) (no.2) (England) Order2008. This covers works that do not require planning permission. The route of the phase 3 extension will run on land owned by Adur DC, between the existing hard concrete access path at The Burrells, and the boundary of their land at Shoreham Fort and then on Land owned by Shoreham Fort. The path will follow the more northerly existing established footpath on the shingle beach between the patches of vegetated shingle, to the Shoreham Port land where it will turn north to follow the existing muddy path before joining to the WSCC footpath at Forthaven. The chosen route is designed to give access to those less able to walk on the shingle and to formalise a route that reduces impact upon the vegetation. The proposed route has been discussed and agreed with the Environment Agency and with West Sussex County Council’s, County Ecologist and Countryside Ranger, and Shoreham Port. Whilst the project is widely supported by the Adur Councillor, Shoreham Residents Association, Friends of Shoreham Beach and the residents of Shoreham in general, we understand that some residents whose properties back onto the beach may have concerns Should you wish to comment or seek clarification on any points, please contact Ken Argent, Engineer via e-mail: ken.argent@adur-worthing.gov.uk #boardwalk #ADC #heritage

Shoreham Beach is growing younger Across Europe, the population is ageing and this is certainly true in Adur, with the over 65 age group increasing more than any other in the coming decades. However, if we look at Marine Ward Census info, new house sizes and alterations, plus " Brighton Drift " research by the Future Adur Schools Team , the average age of people living on Shoreham Beach may well be getting younger. This graph shows the population growth in the Marine Ward area from 2001 to 2011. The majority of the local population is under 45 and this trend looks set to increase. We are preparing a Neighbourhood Plan that sets out a vision for the next 15 years - when many of today's young people will have children and/or houses of their own. Help design our future neighbourhood via three workshops (surveys): transport , re-development and community facilities . These workshops cover various aspects covered in the council's new 'Place Plan' - boosting new homes, employment and local economic growth. The Plan also reflects the key priorities for West Sussex in particular delivering skills, digital connectivity and health & well being services. According to Adur & Worthing Councils, the population of Adur is expected to grow by 5,000 in the next 20 years - part of the 100,000+ extra people expected in West Sussex. Growth in Adur is constrained by limitations on land availability for homes and employment space due to the South Downs National Park and the coastline. Our Neighbourhood Plan will sit alongside the district-wide Local Plan and has to be taken into account by the Local Planning Authority when it is making decisions on planning applications (see our frequently asked questions for more info). The district-wide Local Plan (Adur Plan) identifies over 3,600 new homes and 41,000 sqm employment floor space with the potential to create up to 3,319 new jobs over the next 15 to 20 years. The two priorities set out in the Adur Plan are: Priority 1: – New Monks Farm and Shoreham Airport Development at New Monks Farm & Shoreham Airport provides the opportunity to deliver; 600 new homes; 25,000 sqm new employment space potentially creating a maximum of 2,024 new jobs. Investment involves: Flood Risk Management Measures – Adur Tidal Walls Scheme: to deliver development­enabling flood defences. New A27 Junction and measures supporting the Shoreham Sustainable Transport Package: to deliver both development­enabling and mitigation associated with traffic growth. New Primary School at New Monks Farm: to deliver a new facility to support population growth and planned housing growth. Priority 2: Shoreham Growth – Shoreham Harbour Development at Shoreham Harbour provides the opportunity to deliver 970 new homes, (plus the Parcelforce development, which brings the total to 1100) 16,000 sqm new employment generating floor space potentially creating around 1,295 jobs. Investment involves: Flood Risk Management Measures in Western Harbour Arm: to help deliver new housing and employment floorspace. Shoreham Sustainable Transport Package: to deliver both development­ enabling and mitigation associated with traffic growth. Business Relocation: supporting existing businesses interested in moving to new premises, to enable new homes and employment space to be provided within the Harbour. New/extended Primary School in the Shoreham area: to deliver the capacity necessary to support population growth and planned housing growth.’ #housing #employment #planning #survey #school

This information has been combined with multiple face-to-face and online discussions, workshops, polls and data from other sources (such as the Census) to create the most accurate data possible - to reflect the characteristics of all residents. See our community engagement factsheet . In 2015 we asked residents about their priorities for the NP. The 2015 survey represented 11% of the beach population, the majority of which are long-standing owner occupiers (92%) who have lived here for over 10 years. 42% are retired. Protection of environment, local character and good design standards emerged as the key issues, as well as excessive amounts of cars parked on the roadside. We created working groups and themes to focus on the main priorities. There is cross-fertilisation between the groups and the Green Working Group ensures that protection of the environment is always taken into account. Throughout the process of creating the plan, we have strived to increase feedback from all sections of the local community. We continue to ask new members to register their main interests and concerns with regards to these priorities. It has emerged that all the issues remain important.

We are working to apply the principles of One Planet Living and Low Carbon Neighbourhood Planning (see links below ) to our Shoreham Beach Neighbourhood Plan. Reducing man-made emissions can benefit us globally and locally. We can improve how we shop, how we move and the energy we consume. In this section Request to join this group Objectives & Policies Planning Briefs Useful Links Flood Defence Scheme Research & Evidence Most residents say protection of the environment should be the top priority – with very strong support for flood prevention and keeping green spaces green . In response we propose several policies including the designation of 'Local Green Spaces' (like mini green belts) in the Neighbourhood Plan . Over 80% say we should encourage and promote the best household insulation, solar panels, water efficiency and improved recycling. This has been incorporated into Transport and Neighbourhood Regeneration policies . We are looking for volunteers to further develop these policies.

Planning Briefs Policies Today's weather warnings and video of planned flood defence scheme for the river Adur Flood defences in Shoreham www.shorehamadurtidalwalls.co.uk The risk of flooding to coastal settlements around the UK is high and rising due to sea level rise and an increase in extreme rainfall events from the effects of climate change. The Environment Agency has carried out extensive modelling to determine the likely extent and range of the potential flood events over the next 100 years. ​ The current flood defences (pre 2017) in the Adur estuary do not provide a high enough level of protection and in places are in poor condition. This leaves Shoreham-by-Sea, Lancing and the surrounding areas at risk of flooding. The Environment Agency has been developing a major improvements scheme called the Shoreham Adur tidal walls . The scheme will provide protection for extreme events with 0.33% probability (1 in 300 year) of occurring in one year, allowing for 50 years of sea level rise.
