Brighton & Hove City Council has started preparing a review of the City Plan and have published a City Plan 2041 Key Issues Consultation document for public consultation.
The City Plan 2041 will:
• set out policies to guide future development in the city over the period to 2041
• Identify how much new housing and commercial space will be needed to help meet the needs of our residents and businesses
• Encourage high quality and well-designed places
• Conserve and enhance the environment, biodiversity and our important heritage assets
• Ensure new development is supported by necessary infrastructure
• Conform with the National Planning Policy Framework
• Cover the administrative area of the city council that is not within the South Downs National Park.
BHCC has set out what they think are the key issues for the City Plan 2041, and how they might address them. BHCC want your views on these and any other issues that they have not identified.
BHCC is also undertaking a Call for Sites to enable potential housing, employment, retail or other use sites to be submitted for consideration.
