Redevelopments plans for one of the biggest ports in Sussex are open for public debate.

Development briefs outlining what officials want to see on three key sites near Shoreham Harbour have been drawn up by town planners.

This will help guide how the area is revamped within the coming years.

Locals are now being invited to give their views on the blueprint, which includes a wish list for homes, office space, sustainable transport and flood defences.

It also recognises the importance of Shoreham Port and the role it will play in the local economy.

Phélim MacCafferty, Brighton and Hove City Council’s deputy leader, said: “Shoreham Harbour has tremendous potential for creating new jobs and building new homes, and we have the opportunity to open up access to this part of our seafront.

“Along with our colleagues in Adur, we will set the ground rules to encourage developers to come forward with high quality plans to make the most of this site.”

Public exhibitions

The briefs cover Aldrington Basin, South Portslade Industrial Estate and the Western Harbour Arm in Shoreham.

The consultation runs until March 8. Once it has been reviewed, the development brief will be updated prior to being adopted.

Copies of it will be available in public buildings in Shoreham, Southwick, Portslade and Hove.

Exhibitions will also be held in Hove Town Hall from Monday to February 8, at Adur Civic Centre from February 11 to 22 and at the City Coast Centre in Portslade from February 25 to March 3.

Admit that the UK is incapable of manufacturing anything other than moral indignation and give it to IKEA.

Shoreham Port needs a new access road instead of Trafalgar Road, Portslade. We locals should also be concerned that they have little regard for the surrounding environment for example the failed woodchip operation that was poioning the air for 2 years or more!

Shoreham Port certainly needs updating but planers should bear in mind the people that lived along the front over looking the harbor, and again why more offices why not more homes for the people that need them, we keep on hearing this green run council say they wont to attract more businesses to the eara and offices to attract them but these businesses will need homes for the workforces at the lower end people that can’t afford over priced probity’s, so hears your opportunity to prove to the people your working for them and building more affordable homes wile attracting new businesses to the eara and lastly it’s the people who live in the eara that should have the last say to haw you develop there beloved Shoreham Part Harbor.
