  • Management Committee minutes - August 2015

    19 August at Joss Loader’s house 7.30pm Present Mike Gibson, Joss Loader, Maggie Taylor, Ben Stride, Maurice Pitchford, Julia Watts Apologies Jennie Tindall, Dawn Clenton Sparey MG summarised progress so far. The application has been submitted to ADC and apart from the membership map the supporting documentation is in place. The application will show links to the SBRA website so we need to produce pages on the website. ADC will put a notice in the Shoreham Herald. Consultation period is 6 weeks and will start in September. After this period the application goes to Pat Beresford as Cabinet Member for approval. In the meantime the grant from locality of £7,000 has been approved. The mechanics of payment is that it is paid to ADC and then back out to us. JL, MT and DCS have been to the bank to start to set up a bank account at HSBC. We need a vice chair and a membership secretary. JL is vice chair and Yvonne Campbell to be contacted by MT to see if she would be willing to be membership secretary. BS to finish the membership map. It won’t be finished immediately. He needs names and addresses from DCS but he has software to help him produce it. It is of concern that we don’t have as many members at the Western end of the Beach. David Johnson to be asked if he can recruit in that area. We discussed a leaflet drop explaining the progress so far and an outline of NDPs to the whole beach and giving contact details and website links to the consultation documents. This should be delivered in September and could probably be delivered by the usual Beach News deliverers. The cost of this could be initially funded by SBRA but repaid by the forum as soon as funds and the bank account are available. JL has written a draft Community Engagement proposal as a starting point. It was agreed that we should have two Community Engagement events in October, one in the school and one in the Church to attract more members from the Western end of the Beach. The proposed dates are- Community Engagement Events 23rd and 25th October Management meeting dates:- 23rd September, 15th October, 13th November, 10th December. MG really would like all the working groups to be running simultaneously but most members felt that we didn’t have enough members to populate the groups so we agreed to start with Community Engagement but also the Development Group should start work so that some ideas could be shown for the first community engagement event. DCS is to head the Development Group with guidance from MG. MG handed all members a copy of ‘Neighbourhood Plans Roadmap Guide’ for everyone to read. AOB Individuals’ planning issues relating to current planning applications should be referred to BS and Liza McKinney not to those members of the management committee of the forum. #minutes #management

    25th May 2016 Minutes from the April meeting were approved. Draft Characterisation Study - Generally positive feedback from the draft Characterisation Study was recorded.

Beach Green public loos - Nomination of Asset of Community Value - Dawn reported that she had an email from James Appleton from Adur Council late that afternoon (26.05.15) saying they were ‘not inclined to approve Beach Green as an Asset of Community Value.’ The Committee discussed Mr Appleton’s communication and the overall objective of the original submission.

  • Household Survey - Your Voice, Your Views, Our Community

    SHAPING MARINE WARD FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS [UPDATE: You can now download the full survey report here] This survey is being organised by Shoreham Beach Neighbourhood Forum as part of a community-driven initiative to give local people a powerful new voice in how our area will develop and change during the next 20 years. The Forum was established in July last year and is a "non-party political" group that comprises residents, businesses, community groups and stakeholders. Its objective is to prepare and implement a Neighbourhood Plan (NP) to help shape Shoreham Beach's future. If adopted by public referendum, the Shoreham Beach NP will: Set out a vision showcasing how local people would like Marine Ward to look in 20 years. Complement Government policies and Adur District Council's draft Local Plan and encourage first-class and sustainable development. Tackle a wide range of issues including housing, employment, heritage conservation, transport, protection of open spaces, recreation and leisure. Local people will decide its scope and remit. For more information please visit www.adur-worthing.gov.uk/planning-policy/national-regional-neighbourhood-planning/neighbourhood-planning To ensure the Plan is robust and representative, we are keen to obtain views from a cross-section of local residents, of all ages and from all walks of life and from the eastern and western areas of the Beach – plus the business community. The survey results will be analysed and will be fed back to residents via Beach News and Have Your Say events. The feedback will then help to form the 'evidence base' for the draft NP. Surveys can be completed anonymously. However, all named entries will be entered into a raffle and a £50 prize will be awarded. Please note there's no "right or wrong" answer. The suggestions do not indicate Forum policies – this survey is to help develop policies for public discussion. Your data will be used only in conjunction with this survey and will not be shared with third parties. For the purposes of this survey, Marine Ward includes all of Shoreham Beach plus Adur Recreation Ground. #survey #employment #heritage

  • Management Committee minutes - March 2015

    Tuesday, March 31, 2015 at the Harbour Club Funding - The £1,200 bridging grant has been spent by the NP, according to the agreed expenditure budget set with Locality. Household Survey progress update - Work to prepare a printed and online version of the survey is now nearing completion. Distribution is due to commence on April 22. Joss Loader is leading this work, and an independent analyst will be used by Joss to prepare feedback. It is hoped that Adur District Council will fund survey costs. Planning & Regeneration Working Group – progress on the Characterisation Study - Julia Watts will update the committee at the next meeting. Informal Executive Meetings - Dawn emphasised the need for these meetings on a regular basis and invited committee members to attend where possible. The next one is scheduled for Thursday, April 16. Nomination of Beach Green Toilet Block as Asset of Community Value - This issue was covered first in the meeting, in order to clarify whether the forum had approached the council with an ‘Expression of Interest’ or applied for an ‘Asset of Community Value’. It was made clear that we have applied to the council for the latter which all agreed was the right way forward regarding the proposed development of the toilet block. The NP will have some involvement in the toilet block in a supportive ‘soft way’ as suggested by John Haffenden. John has arranged a meeting with an interested third party which will be attended by Cllr Ben Stride and other committee members. To further clarify, the registration of the Asset of Community Value means that potentially any community group can put together a bid to develop the toilet block. AOB - It was suggested that the Church of the Good Shepherd host future management meetings. The next one is scheduled for Tuesday, April 28.
