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 were consulted on for 6 weeks from 5 February to 18 March 2024. This follows Regulation 16 of the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations 2012 (as amended).
View submitted documents on the forum's website.
Brighton & Hove City Council will submit the draft plan and all responses we received to an appointed examiner. The examiner will then 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 2 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.

Strategic Environmental Assessment
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.
