What is the City Plan?
The City Plan sets out a framework of planning policies to guide future development in the city over the next 15-20 year period.
It applies to the whole city apart from those parts that fall within the South Downs National Park area (the National Park Authority produces its own Plan).
The current City Plan has two parts:
City Plan Part One, adopted in 2016. This sets out the council’s overall approach and the amount of new development required across the city between 2010 and 2030. This includes where most new development is expected to take place.
City Plan Part Two, adopted 2022. This sets out more detailed planning policies that are used to assess planning applications submitted to the council for new development. It also identifies more development sites.
Key issues consultation
This consultation is the first stage in producing the new City Plan 2041. At this stage BHCC is not including new policies or allocating any sites for development.
BHCC has set out what they think are the key issues for the City Plan 2041, and how they might address these issues.
BHCC want your views on these and whether there are other issues that they have not identified.
