Localism and the Arundel Neighbourhood Plan, what sort of town do you want, how do you want Arundel to
develop? The Coalition government is advanced in its plans to delegate powers
to Arun District Council and Arundel Town Council.
The Town Council has been given a £20,000 grant by the
government and is busy preparing a Neighbourhood plan and is consulting on what
should go into this plan and what matters to the town.
This document will be important for the future
development of Arundel and the powers it gives the town council to decide what
should happen. Your views are important
and you should all have your say in what you want for Arundel.
Other Parishes are doing much the same; in fact 18 parishes
in Arun have started Neighbourhood plans which are one of the highest numbers
in the country.
The District is close to completing is Local Plan (LDF) and
is committed to building 400* houses a year for the next 15 years, most of these
houses will either be in Bersted (North Bognor Regis) or be to the north of Littlehampton
which is close to Lyminster, and some of this development will pay for the
Lyminster By-Pass.
The plans for the Lyminster by-pass can be seen on my new
web site www.pauldendle.org, this will
link to a road bridge over the railway and a new link road into the centre of
Littlehampton (coming out by the roundabout at the Police Station).
All change is unsettling, but one change we need for the
economic vitality of the District is the Arundel By-Pass, as confirmed in
earlier columns, Arun, West Sussex and Horsham Councils are funding a report
for the economic argument for the by-pass, once this is completed, this will be
the tool to argue the economic case for the By-Pass.
I am working behind the scenes to ensure we
do not get development that will be damaging to the town and I will fight to
maintain its special character and push for positive change. Until next month, please keep updated via my web site www.pauldendle.org email Pauldendle@aol.com
*In the consultation document we have the 400 houses that we agreed at Council but we also have to show another option of 565 as detailed in the SE Plan as that hasn't been revoked yet.
