For details see 'How to get Involved' on the Shoreham Harbour Regeneration website
Adur District Council, Brighton & Hove City Council, West Sussex County
Council, Shoreham Port Authority, South East England Development Agency (SEEDA)
and Homes & Communities Agency (HCA) are working in partnership to achieve
much needed economic, social and infrastructure improvements along this stretch
of coast.
In July 2008 the project was awarded Provisional Growth Point status which meant the project could attract investment for local infrastructure.
In October
2009 this formally moved from provisional to Growth Point Status.
In March 2010 a more detailed funding bid for the Eco-town programme was submitted outlining the technical background studies that would be required and the need for a demonstration project to illustrate the types of development and behavioural change that could be achieved through Eco-towns PPS1 standards. This bid was successful.
Councillors will oversee work to create a Joint Planning Framework which will attract major commercial investment in the Shoreham Harbour area.
Cllr Neil Parkin, Chairman of the partnership and Leader of Adur District Council said "Our goal is to create regeneration based around a thriving port, linking effectively into existing neighbourhoods, providing better jobs for local people, improved educational opportunities and investing in the local infrastructure."
"If we can attract the right funding and - working with local people - develop the right vision for the area, we may have the opportunity to create a shining example of economic growth and sustainable homes here on the Sussex Coast. We are very excited to be working in true partnership with our neighbours to work towards this ambition."
An Interim Planning Guidance has been written which will ensure that the
area is preserved from piecemeal development until the Joint Planning Framework
is adopted.
During 2011 the public will be consulted on the future development of the Harbour. Please keep an eye on this web page to find out when and how comments can be made.
