The Coastal West Sussex and Greater Brighton Local Strategic Statement (LSS) was prepared by the local planning authorities (LPAs) in the sub-region in 2013 to provide a strategic planning framework for delivering sustainable growth over the period 2013-2031. It is the main vehicle for taking forward the Strategic Planning Board (SPB) work on behalf of the LPAs. The LSS was agreed by the SPB in Oct 2013 and accepted by this Council in Jan 2014.
In July 2015, the SPB agreed that the LSS should be updated to reflect progression of local plans and the Greater Brighton City Deal, and the fact that the strategic geography covered by the LSS has now been expanded to include the districts of Horsham and Mid Sussex. The LSS update is intended to be a focused ‘refresh’, recognising that a more comprehensive review will be needed at some point in the near future to address longer term issues, particularly housing provision.
The ‘LSS Refresh’ (LSS2) was agreed by the SPB at its meeting on 18 January 2016. Following the SPB’s approval, it is intended to present the updated LSS to CDC Members for information and to seek their agreement.
(Recommendation from Development Plan and Infrastructure Panel).
