What is the Neighbourhood Plan? A shared vision that has emerged over nearly 10 years of consultation with Marina residents, workers and elected representatives who joined BMNF to establish general planning policies for the development and use of land in Brighton Marina (the Neighbourhood Area). ​
​
It isn’t a planning application. The Neighbourhood Plan contains guidelines that developers and the Council must take into consideration in future planning applications for development within Brighton Marina.​​​​​​​​​

What is a Neighbourhood Forum?
Neighbourhood planning legislation, introduced
by the Government under the Localism Act,
gives communities direct power to develop a
shared vision for their neighbourhood, to shape
its development and growth, and to establish
general planning policies for the development
and use of land in the neighbourhood area.
These are described legally as ‘Neighbourhood
Development Plans’.
