Brighton & Hove City Plan Part City Plan Part 1 Foreword It is my pleasure to introduce the City Plan Part One as adopted by Brighton & Hove City Council on 24th March 2016. The City Plan Part 1 strategy reflects the importance the Council places on protecting and enhancing the city’s unique built and natural environment whilst ensuring needed homes and jobs are provided together with the right infrastructure and community facilities to support the city’s residents, businesses and visitors. The policies in the City Plan will help to make sure that there are better links for our communities and neighbourhoods to employment and skills opportunities and adequate housing provision whilst also meeting the demands of businesses and visitors. The Plan seeks to create genuinely sustainable communities through encouraging mixed use developments, high-quality and well-designed places; and developments that enable people to make better choices about their need for travel. The City Plan will also help to ensure that new development is supported by necessary infrastructure that protects and promotes communities, the city’s economy and the environment. The City Plan Part One will provide the overarching strategy for emerging Neighbourhood Plans and will be supported in due course by the City Plan Part Two which will contain the remaining site allocations and development management policies. This Plan replaces a number of policies in the adopted Brighton & Hove Local Plan (2005), and this is set out in Annex 4 of the Plan. I would like to express my thanks on behalf of Brighton & Hove City Council to all those who contributed to the preparation of this plan through its many stages and I look forward to its implementation.

It will help shape the future of the city and plays an important role in ensuring that other citywide plans and strategies achieve their objectives. The City Plan Part One is a Development Plan Document (DPD)1. 1.2 The City Plan Part 1 sets out how the council will respond to local priorities; how it will meet the social, economic and environmental challenges that face the city; and how it will work with partners to reduce inequalities. It identifies the broad locations, scale and type of development and supporting infrastructure that will take place in the city. The City Plan also responds to, and provides for, the needs of a growing population and a growing local economy and reflects the role and importance of the city in the sub region and the south east. 1.3 The City Plan Part 1: • Sets out a vision and objectives for the development and growth of Brighton & Hove up to 2030; identifies broad locations for development and allocates strategic sites and employment sites; • Sets clear policies that guide decisions on planning applications; • Indicates how the plan will be implemented and shows how progress will be monitored; • Sets out the infrastructure requirements for the city up to 2030 and how these will be addressed. Other Development Plan Documents 1.4 The policies in all the other Development Plan Documents for Brighton & Hove have to be in line with the City Plan Part 1, so it is the most important Development Plan Document: • The City Plan Part 2 will contain site allocations and the remaining development management policies. • A Joint Area Action Plan (JAAP) is being developed with Adur District Council and West Sussex County Council that will set out a comprehensive, deliverable plan for the future revitalisation of Shoreham Harbour. • Supplementary Planning Documents will provide guidance on specific areas or topics. • Waste and Minerals Local Plan - the Council, working in partnership with East Sussex County Council and the South Downs National Park 1 Development Plan Documents (DPDs) are key statutory documents which set out the vision, strategy and policies for the area. They are subject to Sustainability Appraisal and to a formal examination in public. 5 Authority, is preparing a Waste and Minerals Local Plan2 that will provide planning policies to guide the management of waste and production of minerals in the plan area until 2026. • The South Downs National Park was formally designated in 31 March 2010 and the National Park Authority brought into effect in April 2011. This is now the planning authority for the administrative area of Brighton & Hove that falls within the National Park. This area will no longer be covered by Brighton & Hove City Plan Part 1 policies but will be covered by the Local Plan for the National Park. Relationship to other Strategies 1.5 The City Plan Part 1 has been informed by the aims of the city’s Sustainable Community Strategy, other citywide plans and strategies and national planning policy and feedback from consultation. Figure 1 shows the relationship to these documents. Policies in the City Plan are in conformity with the National Planning Policy Framework and apply it at the local level. Figure 1 Relationship of the City Plan to other Strategies 2 The East Sussex South Downs and Brighton & Hove Waste & Minerals Plan was adopted 19 February 2013 and work has commenced on a waste and minerals sites plan. 6 Links to neighbouring areas 1.6 Brighton & Hove provides jobs, entertainment, shops and leisure, health and education facilities for people living in neighbouring areas. The city is a regionally significant retail and visitor destination and a transport hub. Brighton & Hove’s Travel to Work Area (TTWA), stretches north through Burgess Hill and towards Haywards Heath and Crawley, east to Newhaven and Lewes and west as far as Shoreham and to a lesser extent Worthing. In 2001, census data shows that the city had a relatively self-contained labour market with 75% of the workforce living within the City’s boundaries in 2001. The major commuting flows into the City were from Lewes District (representing 7% of the City’s workforce), Adur (5%), Mid Sussex (3%) and Worthing (3%). In 2001, 7% of the City’s resident working population commuted to London for work. 1.7 Brighton and Hove forms part of a Sussex Coast housing market which includes Lewes District as well as Coastal West Sussex. A key feature of the housing market dynamic in Brighton & Hove particularly is movement of households from London to Brighton with movement of over 4000 people per annum, many of whom continue to commute to the capital supported by the strength of the rail links. This reflects the City’s strategic accessibility. 1.8 Brighton & Hove is also a member of the Coast to Capital Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) which sees international trade activity as the core economic driver that determines the functional economic area, which is reliant on Gatwick Airport. Recognised as one of the south east’s key growth areas, the Gatwick diamond is linked to Brighton and Hove, as well as the West Sussex coast.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This application seeks planning permission for the demolition of the existing detached bungalow and erection of 3no. four bedroom detached houses with associated garages at Twoways, Station Road, Crawley Down which is designated within the Mid Sussex District Plan as being within the built up area boundaries. The application has been called in by Cllr Coote, Cllr Gibson and Cllr Webb on the grounds of overdevelopment and not in-keeping within the street scene. Planning legislation requires the application to be determined in accordance with the development plan unless material considerations indicate otherwise. It is therefore necessary for the planning application to be assessed against the policies in the development plan and then to take account of other material planning considerations including the NPPF. National planning policy states that planning should be genuinely plan led. The Council has a recently adopted District Plan and is able to demonstrate that it has a five year housing land supply.

  • Multi-Million Pound Hove Gardens Redevelopment Scheme Being Revived Neil Vowles / the Argus Friday 13 November 2015
    Multi-million pound Hove Gardens redevelopment scheme being revived Neil Vowles / The Argus Friday 13 November 2015 Retrieved from http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/14029374.Multi_million_pound_ Hove_Gardens_redevelopment_scheme_being_revived/ on 14th November 2015 13:30 An artist's impression of the new development proposed for Conway Street in Hove by Matsim Properties PLANS for a new multi-million pound development of nearly 200 homes, dozens of offices and shops have been revealed. Matsim Properties have unveiled proposals for the transformation of industrial units in the heart of Hove into high-rise modern housing, offices and retail space. The Sussex-based firm hope the plans could be the beginning of a much larger development to revive a tired-looking section of the city. The company’s Hove Square project, which proposed office space for 1,250 jobs, a nine-screen Vue cinema, a supermarket and 380 homes collapsed in 2012. The new Hove Gardens project in Conway Street would see the demolition of three industrial units to be replaced, providing 178 apartments, 21,500 sq ft of "employment space" and 2,500 sq ft of small flexible use space at ground level with room for expansion for start ups and small businesses. Apartment blocks rising up to 15 storeys in height would be finished with rooftop allotments, communal gardens and potential for a pop-up bar and cinema. Homes would vary between one to three bedrooms and could be a mixture of owner occupied, shared ownership and private renting. A public consultation on the plan is scheduled for next Saturday and plans could be sitting on council officers’ desks by December.
