Final opportunity to comment on Brighton & Hove's City Plan 2041 Key Issues Consultation

Consultation is still open and will close at 11.59 pm Monday 20 January 2025.

The City Plan 2041 Key Issues Consultation document has been published 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.

We have set out what we think are the key issues for the City Plan 2041, and how we might address them. We want your views on these and any other issues that we have not identified.

We are also undertaking a Call for Sites to enable potential housing, employment, retail or other use sites to be submitted for consideration.
