Background

Brighton Marina is at the base of the cliffs east of Brighton & Hove city centre. It was created in the 1970s. It now functions as an independent component of the urban area.

The Marina contains:

  • housing
  • shopping
  • commercial buildings
  • leisure and recreational buildings
  • yacht moorings
  • a working harbour

Local Planning Policy Framework

The Brighton & Hove Local Plan contains planning policies. All planning applications in the city, including the Marina, are judged against the Plan. It was adopted on 21 July 2005.

There are 2 important reference points for the Marina.

We adopted Supplementary Planning Guidance Note no.20: Brighton Marina in January 2003. This was following a public consultation.

We intend for the approved Planning Advice Note (PAN 04) Brighton Marina Masterplan to act as a supplement to SPGBH 20.

This masterplan deals with a much wider area than SPGBH20, including:

  • the whole of the marina
  • the Black Rock Site
  • the Kemp Town Gasworks (TRANSCO) site

In the longer term, it's anticipated that the PAN will form the basis of the Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).

We'll develop the SPD will be developed in a forthcoming phase of the Local Development Scheme programme. This forms part of the Local Development Framework.

We have produced a draft Issues and Options [297kb] paper. This is part of developing the Brighton Marina Master Plan SPD.
