  • Adur Local Plan 2017

    Adur Local Plan 2017

    ADUR LOCAL PLAN 2017 PART TWO – A STRATEGY FOR CHANGE AND PROSPERITY INTRODUCTION 2.1 This part of the Plan contains key strategic policies relating to housing and economic growth, which, when implemented through the lifetime of the Local Plan, will form a strong basis for sustainable growth. SPATIAL STRATEGY 2.2 The Local Plan seeks to deliver a package of measures over the plan period in order to: Work towards meeting the objectively assessed development needs of Adur as far as possible, taking into account environmental assets and constraints and the capacity of infrastructure (which will also entail working with other local authorities in the sub-region, and possibly further afield); facilitate the regeneration of Adur; and meet the vision and objectives of this Local Plan set out in Part One. 2.3 It is intended to achieve this through aiming to balance development in Adur by proactively seeking to meet housing needs, providing employment sites for new or expanding businesses and facilitating the delivery of infrastructure. However it is recognised that local people will still travel to jobs, or use retail, leisure or other services in other areas. Adur’s role is to complement, not compete with other neighbouring centres. 2.4 As well as defining the scale of new development, this Local Plan must guide development to the most appropriate locations. Realistic options for locating development are extremely limited due to the compact size of the Local Plan area and its constrained location between the sea and the South Downs National Park. As a result, there are few real choices in terms of different locations or strategies if the Plan is to go as far as it can to realistically meet objectively assessed needs without damaging its character and environment.
  • Urban People and Wildlife : Biodiversity Action Plan for the Urban Areas of Sussex

    Urban People and Wildlife : Biodiversity Action Plan for the Urban Areas of Sussex

    Habitat Action Plan for Sussex Urban People and Wildlife : Biodiversity Action Plan for the Urban Areas of Sussex 1. Introduction and Definition One of the most urgent environmental problems we are facing in the 21 st Century is the loss of global biodiversity. As 90% of the population live in cities, towns and villages, it is here that this loss will have the most impact on our quality of life. The increasing density and the intensity of urban living has a major impact on the environment and our use of natural resources. Although we are part of the problem, we are also part of the solution. People and Wildlife : Biodiversity Action Plan for the Urban Areas of Sussex sets out the action necessary to maintain and enhance the variety of life all around us. The underlying principle of People and Wildlife (Sussex Urban BAP) is that a healthy environment is an essential requirement for both our quality of life and for wildlife. We can achieve this through changing our attitudes and actions towards the natural environment within our everyday lives by: • Encouraging everyone to make environmentally informed decisions as our actions can and do affect the environment; • Looking at actions we can take as individuals or as members of a community based group, part of a school or college, employer or employee of a business or as decision-makers who help shape local policies; • Recognising that biodiversity is an essential indicator of the health of the environment and hence our quality of life. The Government has made clear the links between biodiversity, quality of life and sustainable development.

Not to be quoted without permission 1 Introduction .......................................................................................................................1 2 Inventory of beach recharge schemes ..............................................................................5 3 Notes and sources ............................................................................................................9 4 Conclusion ......................................................................................................................17 5 References......................................................................................................................21 1 Introduction Sand and shingle are being lost from many beaches in Sussex and Kent as a result of natural coastal processes as well as ill-designed sea defence and coastal protection schemes. To counteract falling beach levels, the Environment Agency and local authorities are increasingly resorting to “topping-up” the beaches with additional sand and shingle. Several terms are currently employed to refer to the artificial provision of extra beach material, but there is disagreement about their precise definition. For the purpose of this report, beach nourishment (or beach replenishment) is defined as the supply of material that has been dredged from the seabed or extracted from inland sand and gravel pits. Beach recycling is defined as the removal

    Walking and Cycling Strategy 2016-2026

    West Sussex Walking and Cycling Strategy 2016–2026 www.westsussex.gov.uk Contents Foreword p4 Chapter 1 Introduction p5 Chapter 2 Existing situation p9 Approach to Infrastructure Design Chapter 3 p17 and Safety Chapter 4 Supporting Activities p21 Chapter 5 Infrastructure Priorities p26 Chapter 6 Delivering the Strategy p28 Appendix 1 Full list of schemes entered by p30 stakeholders sub-divided by scheme type and prioritised by Sustrans’ ‘Rate’ tool ranking Appendix 2 Walking and cycling case study p47 examples Appendix 3 Cycling marketing segmentation and p49 propensity to cycle evidence information 3 Foreword Making the most of active travel is important because it contributes to environmental protection, economic enhancement and improving public health. Increasing levels of walking and cycling - particularly for shorter journeys, or as part of a longer journey - will help to tackle poor air quality, which can cause or exacerbate respiratory diseases such as asthma, and tackle health problems linked with sedentary living thereby reducing NHS costs. Reducing traffic congestion will also have a positive impact on our economy as less time will be spent stuck in traffic and make West Sussex a more attractive place to live and do business. It is therefore important that we recognise walking and cycling as a key part of the transport mix, making improvements that promote these modes as the natural choice for shorter journeys. The West Sussex Walking and Cycling Strategy is designed to complement the Government’s emerging Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy and sets out the County Council’s aims and objectives for walking and cycling together with our priorities for investment in infrastructure improvements.
