Answer - This is the review (ANP3) of the made Arundel Neighbourhood Plan Review 2018 – 2031 of 2019 (ANP2). Attached is the project brief for ANP3 agreed by the Town Council in March 2023. It shows an intention to carry out some material but moderate modifications to some of the made policies and to add some new development management policies, but no new development site allocations. The evidence base of ANP2 and its SEA remains up to date and relevant, but will be supplemented by a new Conservation Area Character Appraisal and design code, the Arundel LCWIP and new green infrastructure data and mapping via Natural England and the Sussex Nature Partnership. At present it is uncertain that the Primary Residence policy idea will be taken any further. The Town Council does not intend that these modifications will ‘change the nature of the plan’.
