We Asked, You Said, We Did
Here are some of the issues we have consulted on and their outcomes.
We asked
The Council undertook a 5-week period of public consultation between 13 October and 17 November 2023 on the draft College Conservation Area Statement.
The Council stated that “We are consulting upon a new College Conservation Area Character Statement. The aim of the Character Statement is to define the special interest of the area, through a detailed assessment of its history, character and appearance.”
The council asked for consultation responses so that officers can “assess the responses and revise the Character Statement as appropriate”.
You said
75 responses were received in total which is considered a very good response for this type of consultation. A significant number of responses came from local residents (59).
Some residents felt the consultation should have included letters or flyers to all homes within the local area. The consultation was considered appropriate and proportionate for the nature and purposes of the document.
A summary of responses received and how these have been addressed in the final document is included in Appendix 2.
We did
Council officers made a number of amendments to the Character Statement including:
- Additional text on residential properties,
- Reference to street furniture,
- More photographs were added
Further comments were made regarding highways and parking in the area which came outside the remit of the Character Statement and it was agreed to send these on to the appropriate departments.
These changes and others were made and the Character Statement was presented to the Culture, Heritage, Sport, Tourism & Economic Development Committee.
The Committee noted that a further amendment was required to the conservation area map and the Character Statement was approved.
The College Conservation Area Character Statement was adopted at Culture, Heritage, Sport, Tourism & Economic Development Committee on 18 January 2024.

We asked
The Council undertook a 6-week period of public consultation between 21 March and 7 February 2022 on the draft Biodiversity and Nature Conservation Supplementary Planning Document (SPD).
The consultation enabled residents and stakeholders to tell us what they thought about the draft SPD.
You said
A total of 19 responses were received.
Overall, there was broad support for most aspects of the guidance. In particular, the biodiversity resource and biodiversity matters sections were considered accurate, the good practice examples were considered helpful, and the step-by-step guide for applicants was considered clear. There was also support for the Biodiversity Checklist to be a validation requirement for relevant applications.
A full summary of the comments and officer response can be found in the Consultation Statement.
We did
The representations have been considered and various changes have been made to the SPD. The SPD and its Annexes were approved by Tourism, Equalities, Communities and Culture Committee on 16 June 2022. The SPD is now a material consideration in determining planning applications.
Biodiversity and Nature Conservation SPD
We asked
To meet the requirements set out in the neighbourhood planning regulations, the Council undertook an 8-week period of public consultation on the applications between 9am on 26 August 2021 to 11:59pm on 22 October.
The consultation period was originally 6 weeks, but the consultation period was extended to allow for it to coincide with consultation by the South Downs National Park Authority.
You said
In total 22 responses were received during the consultation period. The representations received have been considered in determining the applications for the neighbourhood area and neighbourhood forum.
We did
Based on the information provided with the neighbourhood area and forum applications and having considered all the consultation responses received, it was considered that the proposed neighbourhood area boundaries are appropriate and that the proposed neighbourhood forum would meet all the requirements set out in the legislation.
The South Downs National Park Authority also approved the designation on 23 December 2021
