City planning
The Society tries to influence the way the city is planned in a number of ways. We comment on major plans for the city such as the various parts of the City Plan and supplementary planning documents such as the Urban Design Guide. See the Planning Strategy page.
The Society participates in a planning Forum with Regency Society and comments on the major developments which are either in or impact upon, the Hove and Portslade area.We also look at individual planning applications and will make representations (either supporting or objecting) where we feel this is merited. This process can involve considerable time and effort, so we are always looking for help in this area! There are benchmarks beginning to emerge for attractive, functional and sustainable developments throughout the city, such as the development of the access to the Hannington Development in 15 North Street Brighton.We believe we can learn much from such developments. We also feel it is important to consider plans for smaller scale developments, because residents’ homes and their immediate environments are crucial for health and well-being.
