Development briefs :

• Southlands Hospital Site Development Brief :
  A development brief was adopted by the council in July 2000 to provide planning guidance for the disused western part of the Southlands Hospital site in Shoreham. This brief sets out the planning requirements for the redevelopment of the redundant land at the site. It covers appropriate land uses, layout and design for the new development, the relationship with adjacent uses and transport and landscaping.

• The Shoreham Waterside North - Interim Planning Guidance :
  This Interim Planning Guidance was adopted by the council in 2000 to provide a policy guidance framework for the north bank of the River Adur. The document highlights issues which need to be considered and addressed when preparing development proposals and applications. The north bank area provides a major opportunity to create a dynamic mixed-use riverfront extension of the town centre of Shoreham.

Good practice guides :

Houseboats

The houseboats of Shoreham are part of the town’s varied character providing a unique type of housing. However, an important aim is to ensure that the natural environment of this part of the river is conserved and enhanced. Also important is to ensure that there is not a negative impact on the appearance of the area and on residential amenity.

This Good Practice Guide has been produced to advise existing and future houseboat owners on the type of development and changes which are appropriate to the houseboats and those which are not taking account of the need to protect and enhance the river environment whilst respecting the unique characteristics of the houseboat community. It also provides useful advice and information on nature conservation, land drainage, flood risk management and pollution.
