- ARCHIVE – September / October 2015:
News from the South Downs National Park Authority:
The South Downs Local Plan: Preferred Options consultation is running from the 2 September to the 28 October 2015.
Our landscapes are the reason the South Downs became a National Park so they must sit at the heart of every planning decision we make.
We are developing a Local Plan which will contain the policies that set the course for development in the National Park – putting landscapes first while still serving the needs of communities and the local economy. It will sit alongside the Partnership Management Plan in shaping the future of the South Downs National Park. When it’s adopted (expected to be 2017) it will be the first time that a single set of planning policies have been applied across the entire National Park.
We have now published our preferred options for these policies and we need your feedback.
