REVIEW OF THE SOUTH DOWNS LOCAL PLAN!

/in /by

YOU CAN GET INVOLVED IN THE REVIEW OF THE SOUTH DOWNS LOCAL PLAN!

Work has begun on reviewing the South Downs Local Plan. The review will give the SDNPA an opportunity to address important issues such as nature recovery, climate change and the type and level of development needed in the National Park such as affordable homes.

EARLY ENGAGEMENT

From the 8th July to 16th September, tell us what you think the key issues are that the Local Plan needs to address and how you would like to be involved in preparing the new Local Plan.   There are three documents to review at this stage and these are attached below (along with the poster on the consultation):

  • Project Initiation Document (PID) – this defines the scope and issues for the plan, the resources needed to deliver it and the risks associated with the project.
  • Local Development Scheme (LDS) ­– this includes a timetable for the preparation and adoption of the Local Plan.
  • Statement of Community Involvement (SCI) – this sets out how we will consult with all stakeholders, including local communities, business, and public bodies, on planning matters. We are proposing changes to the SCI on how we consult on draft plans, including key principles and introducing the preparation of bespoke ‘Community Involvement Plans’ for separate planning policy consultations.

For more details & to post comments on these documents and/or complete a quick survey – SCAN THE QR Code on the attached poster or see https://sdnpalocalplanreview.commonplace.is/

The Park is also seeking feedback on the National Park Vision 2050, which will be considered as part of the Partnership Management Review later this year.

COMPLETE YOUTH SURVEY and enter prize draw

There is also a “youth survey” for 13 to 25-year-olds, with the chance to enter a prize draw for a £50 gift voucher.
