Brighton Marina neighbourhood plan
Brighton Marina Neighbourhood Forum Submission Neighbourhood Plan – Regulation 16 Consultation
Brighton Marina Forum has prepared a Neighbourhood Plan and submitted this to the city council for examination.
The Neighbourhood Plan and associated documents will go out to consultation for 6 weeks from 5 February to 18 March 2024. This follows Regulation 16 of the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations 2012 (as amended).
You can also find hard copies of the Brighton Marina Neighbourhood Plan at:
Whitehawk Library
Rottingdean Library
Jubilee Library
Brighton Customer Service Centre
After the consultation we will submit the draft plan and all responses we recieve to an appointed examiner. They will consider if the plan meets all the necessary statutory requirements.
Based on their report, we will then decide whether to put the neighbourhood plan to a referendum.
Due to its designation as a ‘business area’, Brighton Marina will be subject to two local referendums. One for businesses and one for residents.
If approved at referendum, the neighbourhood plan will be formally ‘made’. We will use the policies from it to help decide the outcome of planning applications in the area.
Brighton Marina Neighbourhood Forum Draft Neighbourhood Plan – Regulation 14 Consultation
Brighton Marina Neighbourhood Forum has prepared a draft Neighbourhood Development Plan. This will set policies for development and create a shared vision for Brighton Marina.
The Forum commenced Regulation 14 consultation on the draft plan on 9 November 2022. Consultation rans until 4 January 2023.
Brighton Marina Neighbourhood Forum Renewal Application Approval November 2020
The Brighton Marina Neighbourhood Forum re-designation was approved on 3 November 2020.
The forum applied to the council to formally renew its designation in accordance with the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 the Localism Act 2011 and the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012.
The neighbourhood area boundary remains identical to the original boundary that was designated in 2015. Renewal enables the Brighton Marina Neighbourhood Forum to continue to prepare the Brighton Marina Neighbourhood Plan for the area.
Consultation on the renewal of the Brighton Marina Forum Designation took place for a period of 6 weeks starting on 4 August 2020 and closing on 15 September 2020.
Brighton & Hove City Council has carried out a screening exercise to determine whether the Brighton Marina Neighbourhood Plan will require a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA).
The screening exercise indicates that an SEA will not be required. This has been confirmed by consultation with the three statutory environmental consultees: Natural England, the Environment Agency and Historic England.

The neighbourhood area and forum applications were subject to public consultation between 2 October and 13 November 2014 and were reported to the 15 January 2015 Economic Development & Culture Committee. The decision to designate this neighbourhood area and forum was deferred in order to address issues raised over the area boundary and representation. These applications were subsequently determined at the 18 June 2015 Economic Development & Culture Committee.
