Open green spaces in Neighbourhood Plan, especially in relation to MUGA location MH to contact Pippa re MUGA issue; of the 2 locations, Forum believe Beach Green is most appropriate - DC would like to meet and discuss. 5. Policies that Adur Planners consider should be removed which the Forum wish to retain Forum still wish to consider allocation of allotments west of BG car park - MH to contact Estates, and others for Council view. Forum to work towards an up-to-date, consistent draft plan document o Forum to consider issue of Design Code , i.e.
Is “Design Code / Guide” the wrong type of document? Too constrictive? Is there a more flexible and appropriate planning instrument, i.e. a Supplementary Planning Guide? o Planning Policy - to consider how a NP design code would work - integral to plan or separate? o Forum to consider how the plan addresses concerns regarding development 6. Impact of emerging Local Plan on draft Neighbourhood Plan Planning Policy Team to consider sustainability criteria for the Forum - align with emerging ALP? Would it be easier if SBNF replace the One Planet Principles with UN Sustainable Development Goals and what is the outcome of the A&W Climate Assembly ?
