Neighbourhood planning gives communities direct power to develop a shared vision for their neighbourhood and shape the development and growth in their local area. They are able to choose where they want new homes, shops and offices to be built, have their say on what those new buildings should look like and what infrastructure should be provided, and grant planning permission for the new buildings they want to see go ahead. Neighbourhood planning provides a powerful set of tools for local people to ensure that they get the right types of development for their community where the ambition of the neighbourhood is aligned with the strategic needs and priorities of the wider local area.
Once 'made' the Neighbourhood Plan would form part of Brighton & Hove City Council's development plan and the policies within would be used in the determination of planning applications in the Neighbourhood Plan Area.
If made, the policies in the Neighbourhood Plan will influence development nearby, protecting some important local green space, biodiversity and green infrastructure from the adverse impacts of development.
The Plan is being prepared by a group of volunteers know as the Coldean Neighbourhood Planning Forum. There will also be valuable input from the community of Coldean through various consultations and engagement at different stages of the preparation of the Plan.
So far through consultation with the community, we have identified that the following are key issues in Coldean:
The Forum are focussing on these issues, and building an evidence base to determine how the Plan will tackle them.
