The 2016 Workshop Report and 2017 Youth Survey provide valuable insight into school spaces, green spaces and leisure activities, including the future of the AOAC. Charts and comments are colour-coded by sentiment and maps show where respondents live in relation to the issues they were voting on. The 2016 workshop was launched at the SBNF Have Your Say day in February 2016 and was available online for two months. Paper copies were also available at the SBRA AGM. We received 60 responses from residents aged between 25 and 65+ who provided a vast amount of useful feedback. which is now being put to good use in the development of draft policies , a master plan for Beach Green and planning brief for the main gateway to the local beach nature reserve . Feedback about the first draft of policies and objectives has been overwhelmingly positive and constructive. Independent research by AECOM also resulted in some innovative proposals for sheltered housing and increased school capacity. These options have been incorporated into the supplementary, aspirational section of the latest draft of the Plan . Some of the other policies have been incorporated into other sections of the Plan. We are now gathering photographic evidence for the Plan - submit your images and vote for your favourites.

THE CONSTITUTION The Forum aims to promote or improve social, economic and environmental wellbeing and conditions in the Shoreham Beach area SUMMARY The Constitution establishes the Forum’s aims and provides the organisational framework for its activities. Here is a summary, with particular reference to the activities necessary for producing the Neighbourhood Plan. ‘the Forum aims to promote or improve the social, economic and environmental well-being and conditions in the Shoreham Beach area particularly through the preparation and implementation of a Neighbourhood Plan.' The Forum is a democratic and accountable membership organisation. Membership is open to individuals who live and/or work in the area and elected members of Adur District Council and/or West Sussex County Council whose ward or division includes the area. ‘the Forum will be as representative as possible of the people who live and work in the area. Thus membership will be drawn from different places in the area and from different sections of the community’ The Forum’s activities are managed by a Committee (steering group) which meets once a month and comprises officers elected at the AGM – Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer, Secretary and Membership Secretary – together with Working Group Leaders and Deputies. The volunteer members of the Committee and the Action Groups are supported by a professional planning advisor, working on the basis of a combination of paid and pro-bono time. The Management Committee is responsible for the key activities of the Forum: Agreeing and ensuring the implementation of the Communications and Community Engagement Strategy. Co-ordinating the activities of the Working Groups: Residential Development & Regeneration Transport & Movement Community Facilities Sustainable, Green Neighbourhood Communications & Community Engagement Drafting, agreeing and promoting the implementation of the Shoreham Beach Neighbourhood Plan. Working in partnership with relevant public, private and community sector stakeholders, in particular with the Shoreham Beach Residents Association and Adur District Council. The Constitution also requires the Forum to organise a minimum of two Have Your Say events each year which enables the Forum to: showcase its activities, particularly the evolving Neighbourhood Plan, recruit new members, enable Forum Working Groups to have discussions with wider groups of local people, facilitate Q&A sessions with the Local Planning Authority officers, councillors and developers with an interest in the area, share experiences with voluntary and community sector organisations from elsewhere in the district and other towns and cities which are preparing and involved in implementing Neighbourhood Plans. 📃 View the complete constitution...

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.
