Much of the Brooks Road area is protected as a principal employment site under Policy SD35 of the South Downs Local Plan. In recent years there have been several planning applications and enquiries for sites within the Brooks Road area for redevelopment, such as mixed-use development including residential use. In response, the SDNPA have prepared this Planning Brief in recognition that a level of change is happening in the area.
The Society has a number of significant concerns which it considers need to be addressed before the Brief is formally adopted. In this context, it is suggested that a more detailed understanding of the opportunities and constraints on the area might be a useful part of the SDNPA’s review of the responses to the consultation.
