25th May 2016 Minutes from the April meeting were approved. Draft Characterisation Study - Generally positive feedback from the draft Characterisation Study was recorded. The Committee agreed the study formed a vital part of the overall evidence base and gave context to the plan. The committee identified a few additional sections and agreed that the study would be updated and re-circulated as an amended draft. Household Survey - Joss reported that circa 300 surveys had been completed and submitted. Joss has met with the representatives from the Houseboat Community to understand more about their thoughts and views locally – plus other hard to reach groups, including young people. The data now needs to be analysed, independently. 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. It was agreed that the forum may seek a meeting with the Council to review and liaise over their response further. Joss said that the two district councillors – as elected members for the ward – needed to be consulted and involved. Working Groups – update and next steps - Dawn reported that the planning consultant has met with some group leaders and is due to meet the rest. Funding – The latest tranche of Locality funding is awaited. The development of a separate website for Shoreham Beach Neighbourhood Forum was discussed and agreed. Two quotes for developing a website had been submitted. No further action will be taken until funding has been received. Have Your Say Day event - 15th July 5:00 – 8:00pm at Shoreham Beach Primary School. Action: Dawn, Joss, Howard and Mike to meet on Monday 1st June to discuss the overall look and proposed content for this event. Next meeting: 24th June 2015, venue to be confirmed. #minutes #BeachGreen #management

Shoreham Beach Neighbourhood Forum has achieved a major milestone following the launch of the public consultation exercise by Adur District Council on August 20. This followed the successful submission of the application for official designation of both the forum, and neighbourhood area (Marine Ward). The application is being made available for public consultation for six weeks until Wed, October 1, 2014. Please follow the links at the bottom of this update and fill out the questionnaire, to indicate your support. The consultation seeks the views of people who live and work in the areas and other interested parties, to establish whether the proposed area is appropriate for neighbourhood planning and whether the neighbourhood forum is representative of people in the area. We are aware that the western end of Shoreham Beach is somewhat under-represented at the moment. Please forward this update to any friends or contacts on the Beach – particularly those living west of Ferry Road - and suggest they sign up to the forum. Likewise, please ask them to fill out the questionnaire. Any new members should email shorehambeachforum@gmail.com with their contact details. We also plan a mailshot to everybody living on Shoreham Beach in the next couple of weeks, to ensure everybody is up to speed – and has a chance to have their say. If the application is approved, the forum will be able to produce a neighbourhood plan for the area, with implementation subject to a “yes” vote during a public referendum. If this forum is approved, no other organisation can be designated to produce a neighbourhood plan for this area (unless the designation expires or is withdrawn). The following documents were submitted with the application for the area and forum:  Application for designation by Shoreham Beach Neighbourhood Forum  The Forum’s constitution and map showing the area To view all of these documents, and to make your submissions, please visit the council’s website via the following link - http://goo.gl/3HYT8f For a simple guide to neighbourhood plans and the legal process, please click on http://goo.gl/vDwe0X Thank you for your time – and helping us to make this a reality for our community.
