Arun District Council is consulting on the Direction of Travel Document for updating the Local Plan 2023 – 2041. The consultation runs from 25 March 2024 until 5pm on 6 May 2024.
The Direction of Travel document is a Regulation 18 Issues & Options consultation which is being published as a first stage of engagement with our residents, seeking views and suggestions on how Arun should grow and develop in the future. This consultation identifies the issues and challenges facing the district and the options that could help address them. For example, we are asking about how best to balance the delivery of growth and regeneration across the district to meet Arun’s future needs whilst at the same time protecting the things we value about Arun.
The document can be viewed online here. It is available in printed form at the Arun Civic Centre and Bognor Regis Town Hall and is also available at the libraries within Arun District.

As part of this consultation, we will also be holding several drop-in events where the public can speak to officers about the Direction of Travel Document. The list of these sessions is scheduled below.
