Call for Sites and land 2023
As part of The Arun Local Plan process (adopted in July 2018) and any new plan making, we continue to search for appropriate sites for current and future needs.
The 'Call for Sites' is an opportunity for individuals, organisations, community groups, landowners or developers to put forward land sites within the district for development. Suggestions received by us will be used for future plan making.
We are interested in submissions for potential land availability (including any previously developed land and existing Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) sites for potential for development of:
- Housing (sites of five or more additional new dwellings)
- Economic development (sites of 0.25ha or above or able to provide 500 sqm or above of additional floor space)
- Gypsy and traveller Sites
- Custom and self-build housing
- Leisure and tourism
- Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)
- Blue/green infrastructure - e.g., rewilding, natural flood mitigation, or renewable energy
Cllr Martin Lury, Chair of the Planning Policy Committee said:
“We are particularly interested to know if you are planning to develop the land within the next five years or in the longer term, from April 2023. Any proposed sites will be considered for a multitude of uses which could help to boost the local area and the economy.”
The Call for Sites will run from 21June until 26 July 2023.
If you want to submit details of any new sites or provide any update on an existing site for assessment, please complete our online e-form. The form and guidance notes are on our website (https://www.arun.gov.uk/helaa-brownfield-land-self-build-registers)
You do not have to own a site to suggest it for development. However, you will need to provide us with the landowner’s details so that we can contact them. We also suggest you speak to the landowner before submitting details of the site.
More information about the ‘Call for Sites’ process and how to submit a site can also be found on the council’s website: https://www.arun.gov.uk/helaa-brownfield-land-self-build-registers
