How to address design and character within a neighbourhood plan An informative video by Planning Aid England about how to do a design and character assessment as part of your neighbourhood plan. They discuss common themes and issues raised by neighbourhood planning groups, how the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) sets out what design policy can and can't do, and how to reinforce local distinctiveness through your neighbourhood plan. They also talk through how to do a character assessment : what it is, why you might produce one, how to use the information it produces and what the benefits are. This is backed up by real life examples from neighbourhood planning groups.

Big turnout to view first draft policies for Shoreham Beach Neighbourhood Plan UPDATE: We have been collecting residents' feedback, suggestions and support for the first draft policies over the past year, see the results here: Regeneration feedback > Facilities feedback > Green & Blue feedback > Transport & Movement > Approximately 200 Shoreham Beach residents attended the recent Have Your Say days to comment on the first Draft Policies for the Shoreham Beach Neighbourhood Plan. A group of community-spirited volunteers - Shoreham Beach Neighbourhood Forum (SBNF) - have been busy co-designing the Plan for the past two years through regular engagement with local residents and community groups. The Plan gives communities a chance to influence the future development of their neighbourhood for the next 15 years and everyone who lives or works on Shoreham beach is free to participate. Around 400 members have now joined SBNF and have the opportunity to take part through face-to-face public events, dedicated working group meetings, online discussion forums, social media and a dedicated website: www.shorehambeachforum.com . The latest public consultations were held at The Harbour Club on the evening of Thursday 6th October and again on Saturday 8th October. Both events were well attended. Saturday’s event was particularly lively, with a diverse range of attendees from toddlers to pensioners and houseboat owners to yacht owners. All attendees marked their residence on a map, and the organisers were pleased to see a good turnout from all areas in the designated Plan area. The Port Authority, Friends of Shoreham Beach, AECOM, The Environment Agency and Adur District Council were also represented at the event. On Thursday James Appleton - Adur & Worthing District Council Chief Planner - explained that if approved, the Neighbourhood Plan will “sit alongside the Local Plan for the District”... ”both are legal documents which have to be taken into account when the Planning committee makes decisions on planning applications.” A resident asked the crucial question “…will the Plan make any difference to decisions.” Professor Mike Gibson - the Forum’s planning consultant - pointed out that there is clear evidence of examples where appeals by developers are turned down by the government. Due to proposals being in conflict with the Neighbourhood Plan. However, James Appleton was very positive about the progress of the Shoreham Beach Plan to date. Neighbourhood Plans are on the increase across the country. They offer an important opportunity for residents and local businesses, to help shape both the development and conservation of their neighbourhood. Shoreham Beach has changed a lot over the years - and continues to grapple with the ever-present pressure to regenerate and develop, alongside wanting to conserve its unique landscape and somewhat eclectic nature. This year alone sees developments at Ferry Road, Tidal Wall improvements and commercial opportunities at Beach Green. James Fuller from the Environment Agency gave a detailed explanation of the timing of the tidal wall works and took questions from the audience. SBNF Chairman Dawn Clenton-Sparey: “We think it’s really important local people - of all ages, here - have a chance to positively influence how the area develops in the future. We are really encouraged by how many people have got involved with the Neighbourhood Plan so far - and the brilliant ideas they’ve put forward for The Beach.” The Forum’s Working Groups presented a wide range of proposals. Including the designation of Local Green Spaces to give additional protection from unwanted development; the provision of an indoor community facility in the proposed café development; a Neighbourhood Design Review Panel - to provide professionally informed residents’ comments on planning applications (for development on the Beach). Together with a video showcasing a ‘future Shoreham Beach’ - focusing on transport issues and opportunities. Friends of Shoreham Beach contributed to the exhibition to emphasise the vital importance of the Local Nature Reserve. Independent - government funded - urban planning specialists AECOM (commissioned by the Forum) presented “What if...” options for: the future of Beach Green; a new school site; parking solutions; allotments and housing. This is now being revised before we publish it online. What next? The Have Your Say days generated over 100 pages of comments, feedback and suggestions. The various working groups of the Forum will now analyse the feedback and use it to refine the draft policies and objectives. All exhibition materials have now been uploaded to the website and there will soon be an online survey to give those who did not have a chance to attend the public events to also have their say. The accompanying video, entitled Shoreham Beach: then, now, future?’ was produced by local eco-designer Mike Whelan. it is a collection of suggestions made by local residents which have been brought to life through the use of computer graphics in order to ‘prototype’ the ideas in a virtual tour of the area. Mike Whelan said: “it was great to see younger residents engage with the process through watching the video - they started to understand the potential benefits of the Plan and how they could contribute. One young girl excitedly told me the video had given her an idea and she went on to draw various plans on our activity sheets.” The video will be updated to incorporate some of the feedback and suggestions gathered at the events before being published to the website. After the online feedback process is complete, the Forum will prepare what is called the ‘Pre-submission Consultation Draft Plan.’ Which by law will be required to be open to public consultation for a minimum of 6 weeks before it is submitted to the council officers. After checking that the Plan meets all legal requirements and has been properly prepared, the Council organises a second 6 week public consultation. Before arranging for an Independent Examination by an ‘approved planning inspector.’ The final stage is a yes/no referendum, with all those living and working on the Beach eligible to vote. The approval of the Plan will require a majority of votes cast. The latest Have Your Say days were held on the 6th and 8th of October 2016. More information at www.shorehambeachforum.com #design

Sustainability Some members have long argued that the Plan should include measures to protect existing trees and plant more on the Beach. The 2020 West Sussex Tree Plan recognises that trees have a significantly positive impact on the economy, society, mental health, physical health and the environment. However, some residents say: "if you want trees, go live in the town". Do you think the Plan should do more to protect and/or enhance tree growth on the Beach? Like 0 comments 0 Forum - Frameless

Introduction Evidence Planning Briefs Policies Map Exercise Discuss Resources Introduction The Neighbourhood Plan is an opportunity to promote sustainable transport by encouraging people to make more journeys on foot, by bike and public transport and improving the flow of motorised traffic. ​ Constraints A neighbourhood plan may deal with transport related to new development. It may only deal with traffic management of existing networks, where management would be necessary to allow development to be approved. Policy on transport should seek to encourage a balanced and sustainable provision. The needs of non-car owners should be addressed. For example, pedestrian convenience and facilities for cyclists should be encouraged. Careful consideration should be given to creating convenient and safe links to surrounding areas. It may be necessary to encourage new roads, bus routes and other links to key development sites to support their development. Car parking needs to be carefully designed and positioned to create a distinctive sense of place and not to dominate the public realm. ​ Request to join this group Objectives & Policies Interactive Map Exercise Circuit Idea Online Discussion Related articles Shoreham Beach Neighbourhood Forum Structure (2020) Shoreham Beach Neighbourhood Forum Structure (2018/19) Shoreham Beach Neighbourhood Forum Structure (2018) New Beach Boardwalk Extension in May 2018 and NP Draft Policy See the plans for Shoreham Harbour at Pond Rd: 10 Nov-22nd December We need your photos in the Neighbourhood Plan - Issues, Views & Aspirations Shoreham Beach Neighbourhood Forum Structure (2017) Management Committee minutes - March 2017 Active by Design - Designing Places for Healthy Lives A Virtual Tour of Potential Opportunities on Shoreham Beach - Part 1 Shoreham Beach Neighbourhood Forum Structure (2020) Shoreham Beach Neighbourhood Forum Structure (2018/19) Shoreham Beach Neighbourhood Forum Structure (2018) New Beach Boardwalk Extension in May 2018 and NP Draft Policy See the plans for Shoreham Harbour at Pond Rd: 10 Nov-22nd December We need your photos in the Neighbourhood Plan - Issues, Views & Aspirations Shoreham Beach Neighbourhood Forum Structure (2017) Management Committee minutes - March 2017 Active by Design - Designing Places for Healthy Lives A Virtual Tour of Potential Opportunities on Shoreham Beach - Part 1 Shoreham Beach Neighbourhood Forum Structure (2020) Shoreham Beach Neighbourhood Forum Structure (2018/19) Shoreham Beach Neighbourhood Forum Structure (2018) New Beach Boardwalk Extension in May 2018 and NP Draft Policy See the plans for Shoreham Harbour at Pond Rd: 10 Nov-22nd December We need your photos in the Neighbourhood Plan - Issues, Views & Aspirations Shoreham Beach Neighbourhood Forum Structure (2017) Management Committee minutes - March 2017 Active by Design - Designing Places for Healthy Lives A Virtual Tour of Potential Opportunities on Shoreham Beach - Part 1 Green Facilities Regeneration Movement Get Involved > Issues > Mobility TRANSPORT & MOVEMENT WORKING GROUP Research & Evidence The 2015 Household Survey has highlighted five main issues for the Plan to consider: pedestrian networks, cycling networks, parking, traffic calming and public transport. ​ At the October 2015 Have Your Say days we conducted workshops and collected feedback for the West Sussex County Council Cycling Strategy . ​ In January 2016 we set up Google groups on each working group page to publicly discuss the issues online and via email. We also began sharing ideas via our blog , Facebook and Streetlife (now Nextdoor ) alternatively, you can join our discussion group on LinkedIn or subscribe to our Youtube channel. ​ At the February 2016 Have Your Say days we conducted more workshops. These workshops were also made available online until April 2016. We received 48 responses from residents aged between 25 and 65+. The transport workshop report and youth survey focuses on exercise, river crossings, walking, cycling and driving. The regeneration workshop report focuses on public car parks and sites which local residents identified for potential improvement. ​ The reports include constructive comments, informative charts and maps. Policy makers can use these maps to see where respondents live in relation to the issues they were voting on, where they want to see improvements and how this relates to actual traffic incidents in the area over the last ten years. ​ Comments from all SBNF public consultations can be viewed by clicking on the appropriate icons on the interactive map .

Planning Briefs Vision for Transport & Movement Shoreham Beach will be a quiet, 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 - enabling us to be more able in later life. Strategic Objective (Revision 3, 2017) The Neighbourhood Plan will support a transition towards more sustainable transport and movement by reducing the negative impact of development (including congestion, air pollution, noise pollution, safety and parking) together with improving conditions for pedestrians, cyclists, motorists and mobility vehicle users.

SBNF Winter 2020 Update for Beach News We publish updates about the progress of the Neighbourhood Plan in every edition of Beach News. Here's a copy of the latest update from our Engagement Officer: Shoreham Beach Neighbourhood Forum’s application to be re-designated was duly taken to Adur District Council’s Joint Strategic Committee (JSC) in July. The JSC, comprising Executive Members from the Council's ruling Conservative Group, required further information before it could reach a final decision. To assist the JSC, the Forum has produced an Action Plan to address the matters raised at the July meeting. In addition the Forum has requested a meeting with ADC Planning Officers ahead of the meeting of the JSC to review progress on the emerging Neighbourhood Plan and agree the programme of work needed to complete it. A joint meeting between committee members of the Forum and of Shoreham Beach Residents’ Association (SBRA), chaired by the County Councillor for Shoreham South, Cllr Kevin Boram, was held on October 12th to seek SBRA support for redesignation. SBRA has agreed to a further meeting with SBNF to discuss the emerging Neighbourhood Plan. It is the hope and ambition of the Forum that all this work will secure the JSC’s approval for re-designation in December. The Forum will then be in a position to press ahead to complete the process of producing the Draft Neighbourhood Plan early in the New Year for full consultation with Beach residents in the Spring. After any final amendments, the Forum will submit the Plan to ADC who will organise an Independent Examination and a Referendum when all Marine Ward residents on the Electoral Register will be able to vote. The Forum is keen to encourage further engagement with the community to help refine the Neighbourhood Plan. We strongly encourage residents to join the Forum and participate in our consultation events. This is your opportunity to have a say in the future development of the Beach.
