In November last year, Brighton & Hove City Council launched a consultation to hear the views of residents, local businesses and those working in building design and construction to help shape future development in the city over the next 15 to 20 years.
The City Plan 2041 consultation closes at midnight on Monday 20 January. The consultation has sought opinions on a wide range of issues, such as: How can the number of new homes that are built in the city be increased? Is building taller one answer? Should park and ride sites be developed to service the city centre? Do you think there are certain areas of the city where short-term lets are more appropriate than in other areas or wards? Council deputy leader Jacob Taylor said: “We have limited space within our city boundaries, so we need to plan the places that we live and work and the spaces we use for sport and leisure, for education and for health and wellbeing. “Our City Plan 2041 consultation closes on 20 January, but it’s not too late to have your say on subjects like building more houses, developing office and Industrial spaces to support jobs, and creating a healthy and sustainable city that we all want to see. “We want as many people as possible – of all ages and walks of life – to have their say in shaping a city to be proud of for generations to come. So please give your views online through the council’s Your Voice website.” The council will review and respond to the feedback received in this consultation and consider it in preparing the first draft of the full plan. A second public consultation will be held next winter, 2025/26, and a third – on the final proposed submission – in spring/summer 2026. The plan will then be submitted to the Secretary of State.
