The Boundary Committee for England is a committee of The Electoral Commission, an independent body set up by Parliament under the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000. The functions of the Local Government Commission for England were transferred to The Electoral Commission and its Boundary Committee on 1 April 2002 by the Local Government Commission for England (Transfer of Functions) Order 2001 (SI No. 3962). The Order also transferred to The Electoral Commission the functions of the Secretary of State in relation to taking decisions on recommendations for changes to local authority electoral arrangements and implementing them. Members of the Committee are: Pamela Gordon (Chair) Professor Michael Clarke CBE Robin Gray Joan Jones CBE Ann M. Kelly Professor Colin Mellors Archie Gall (Director) We are required by law to review the electoral arrangements of every principal local authority in England. Our aim is to ensure that the number of electors represented by each councillor in an area is as nearly as possible the same, taking into account local circumstances. We can recommend changes to the number of councillors elected to the council, division boundaries and division names. This report sets out the Committee’s final recommendations on the electoral arrangements for the county of West Sussex. 5 6 Summary We began a review of West Sussex County Council’s electoral arrangements on 11 March 2003. We published our draft recommendations for electoral arrangements on 24 February 2004, after which we undertook a nine-week period of consultation. • This report summarises the representations we received during consultation on our draft recommendations, and contains our final recommendations to The Electoral Commission. We found that the existing arrangements provide unequal representation of electors in West Sussex: • In 36 of the 71 divisions, each of which are currently represented by a single councillor, the number of electors per councillor varies by more than 10% from the average for the county and eight divisions vary by more than 20%. • By 2007 this situation is expected to worsen, with the number of electors per councillor forecast to vary by more than 10% from the average in 34 divisions and by more than 20% in nine divisions. Our main final recommendations for West Sussex County Council’s future electoral arrangements (see Tables 1 and 2 and paragraphs 198 – 199) are: • West Sussex County Council should have 70 councillors, one fewer than at present, representing 62 divisions. • As the divisions are based on district wards which have themselves changed as a result of the recent district reviews, the boundaries of all divisions, except Northgate & Three Bridges, will be subject to change. The purpose of these proposals is to ensure that, in future, each county councillor represents approximately the same number of electors, bearing in mind local circumstances. • In 45 of the proposed 62 divisions the number of electors per councillor would vary by no more than 10% from the average. • This improved level of electoral equality is forecast to continue, with the number of electors per councillor in sixteen divisions expected to vary by more than 10% from the average by 2007. Recommendations are also made for changes to parish council electoral arrangements which provide for: • new warding arrangements for Rustington Parish. 7 All further correspondence on these final recommendations and the matters discussed in this report should be addressed to The Electoral Commission, which will not make an Order implementing them before 26 October 2004. The information in the representations will be available for public access once the Order has been made.

Local communities now have a greater influence over the way their neighbourhoods are developed, placing community need at its heart, along with co-operation with developers and local authorities. In addition to a number of policy changes, one of the most significant is the way the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) is applied through the involvement of local communities and a presumption in favour of sustainable developments in line with community need. The removal of the regional tier with the abolition of regional spatial strategies (RSS), local planning policy has become essential. Communities defined by parish or geography have been encouraged to develop their own neighbourhood plans, to provide an informed and contextual framework to determine future development, whilst conforming to strategic and local policies. Through the development of neighbourhood plans, it is essential to give the community every opportunity to contribute their thoughts and to comment on any proposed developments.

It comprises a total area of 6.6 hectares. It is enclosed for the greater part on 3 sides by residential development with mature, high hedging to all boundaries (approx. 5-6 metres high). The site is generally flat and level and is presently laid to rough pasture being in part sub- divided into horse paddocks. Park Lane defines the north site boundary and is an unmade single width access road which links the coast to the east of the site all the way back west to the B2145. The west site boundary is defined by Manor Lane, an unmade single width access track/road which is a public footpath. The south boundary is formed by Drift Road. Immediately west of Manor Lane is arable farmland, part of a larger parcel of land at Park Farm which benefits from a Committee resolution to permit a hybrid outline application for inter alia 139 dwellings and an ASDA supermarket subject to completion of a S.106 agreement which is underway.

LEON BRITTAN QC MP SECRETARY 0? STA1E FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT PROPOSALS FOR THE FUTURE ELECTORAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE COUNTY OF WEST SUSSEX 1. The last order under section 51 of the Local Government Act 1972 in relation to the electoral arrangements for districts in the county of West Sussex was made on 7 May 1980. As required by section 63 and Schedule 9 of the Act, we have now reviewed the electoral arrangements for that county, using the procedures which we had set out in our Report No. 6. 2. The Act contains no provisions about the size of councils. For the 1973 elections of the new authorities the Home Office, after consultation with local authority associations, decided that, save in exceptional circumstances, the number of councillors for counties should be in the range 60-100. We announced in our Report No. 6 of November 1973 that we proposed to use the same range for our reviews under Schedule 9. We corresponded during the summer and autumn of 1975 with all the non-metropolitan county councils about this range of council sizes, setting out the principles to be followed by the councils when considering their future position within that range.
