PART ONE
81 Declarations of Interest
81.1 There were no declarations of interest in the items appearing on the agenda.
82 Mayor's Communications.
82.1 The Mayor invited the Council to join her in a minute’s silence as a mark of respect for all those who had lost their lives during the current pandemic.
82.2 Following the minute’s silence the Mayor stated that she was aware that it has become the norm to stop at 8.00pm to acknowledge the work of everyone at the NHS and working on the front-line. Should we reach this point in the meeting, I will ask that we stop for 5 minutes to join with everyone in the country and show our appreciation by clapping. We will do that live online, so make sure you have your microphone and webcam on.
82.3 I would also like to mention that to date, over fifty Covid-19 Community Champions nominations have been received in the Civic Office. People nominated include community association volunteers, grocers, NHS workers, pharmacists and teachers, to name a few. All nominations to should be sent to the Civic Office by the first of May.
83 Adoption of Special Procedures
83.1 The Mayor drew the Council’s attention to the updated proposed special procedure rules as detailed in the addendum on pages 3 – 8, which had been circulated separately. She also noted that there was an Officer clarification detailed in the protocol but for clarification read it:
“At the time of the meeting on 5th March, the intention was to start the statutory consultation in May. For a variety of reasons related to the Covid-19 pandemic, that will not be possible. The consultation will therefore start as soon as it is safe and proper to do so.”
83.2 The Mayor then moved that the Council procedure rules should be suspended to the extent necessary to enable the meeting to be conducted under the rules as modified by the procedural notes as circulated.
83.3 RESOLVED: That the procedural rules as outlined be adopted for the consideration of the Proposed Submission City Plan Part 2, Item 88 and the Council’s Procedural Rules suspended accordingly.
84 Call Over for Reports of Committees.

88 Proposed Submission City Plan Part 2
88.1 The Mayor noted that Item 88 concerned the proposed submission of the City Plan Part 2 and that an extract from the proceedings of the Tourism, Equalities, Communities & Culture Committee held on the 5 March, together with a report of the Executive Director for Economy, Environment & Culture were detailed on pages 81 – 366 of the agenda. She also noted that a list of amendments from the Green and Conservative Groups had been circulated with the addendum papers.
88.2 The Mayor also noted that two of the Conservative Group’s amendments had been revised and these related to DM24 and DM36 and were detailed on pages 29 and 31 of the addendum papers.
88.3 The Mayor stated that she would endeavour to enable everyone who wished to speak on the matter to do so and would call on Councillors Childs, Hill, Ebel, Mac Cafferty, Nemeth and Bell to move and second the recommendations and the amendments respectively before opening the debate.
88.4 Councillor Childs introduced the report and welcomed the opportunity to move the recommendations. He stated that a key role of the Plan was to deliver, build upon and complement the priorities set out in the adopted City Plan Part One, the strategic planning policy framework for the city which had been supported by all parties in 2016.
He believed the approval of Part Two of the City Plan would provide the council with an up-to-date, streamlined and more straightforward set of development management policies. He noted that if approved today, the Plan would then be put to its final public consultation before being submitted to the Planning Inspector. He stated that he wished to thank everyone who had taken part in the consultations on the draft Plan in 2018 and noted that the main changes to the Plan were in response to these consultations.
Councillor Childs stated that he wished to thank all the officers involved in drafting and finalising the Plan, as well as colleagues from the Green and Conservative Groups for their valuable and constructive amendments which he hoped could be accepted and incorporated into the Plan.
By having an up to date and robust set of planning policies reflecting our local circumstances we will ensure greater local control instead of having to rely on national policy or reverting to ‘planning by appeal’. It will help to ensure that the right ‘amount of development takes place in the right places. Moving forward with the City Plan Part Two also gives greater certainty for the Council, businesses and all stakeholders that development schemes can be progressed in a properly planned and coordinated manner.
Brighton & Hove is a wonderful City and despite the knock backs we have all suffered in recent weeks and months I remain very positive about our future. This Plan contributes to and will help secure our city’s future and I commend it to you.
88.5 Councillor Hill formally seconded the recommendations and stated that the city’s constrained supply of land and its unique and highly valued natural and built environments give us specific planning challenges which are best tackled proactively. Being positive about site allocations signals we are a city to invest in, gives us local control over what we want to see delivered in the city, and avoids speculative development. The allocated sites citywide, which include seven new allocations, will provide homes, employment space, community and health facilities, and retail. The Plan also factors in so-called windfall sites of less than 10 housing units which make a significant contribution.
We recognise that allocating some urban fringe sites is particularly controversial. However, the principle for this was very clearly established through the examination of City Plan Part One when the council was told to plan much more positively to meet its housing need and to ‘leave no stone unturned’. By allocating the proposed sites, which make up less than 7% of the city’s whole urban fringe, we can protect the rest. We can also seek to ensure that development delivers sustainable and family sized homes, improves biodiversityand provides publicly accessible open space, improved green infrastructure, local food growing opportunities and better links to the National Park.
In our constrained city, good design is key. We welcome those policies that require high quality design standards in new buildings and the public realm spaces around and between them. The Plan makes clear that the council will require an integrated approach to the design process from project inception.
It is so important that we do our utmost to control development in the city locally, by approving the Plan today and moving to the next stage, allowing residents and stakeholders their final say. I’m proud to second this proposal.
88.6 Councillor Ebel formally moved the amendments on behalf of the Green Group and outlined the reasons behind the various amendments that had been submitted. She stated that there was need to reduce carbon emissions, improve air quality and to push for higher energy efficiency standards. Councillor Ebel also referred to the Conservative Group’s amendments and stated that these would be supported by the Green Group.
88.7 Councillor Mac Cafferty formally seconded the amendments and stated that the Green Group sought to protect the environment and recognised the pressures on the land available for future developments. He hoped that further consideration would be given to looking at potential sites in the city centre that have been laying vacant for some time. It was clear that more affordable housing was required, and this had to be provided. He hoped that the Plan as amended would be approved in order to protect the city and residents in the future.
88.8 Councillor Nemeth formally moved the amendments on behalf of the Conservative Group and offered his thanks to the Planning Policy team for their support and help with the process. He also wished to thank the Head of Democratic Services and his team for making the meeting possible, which was quite a feat. He acknowledged the support of Councillor Bell and colleagues in developing the Group’s amendments and thanked Councillor Childs for his willingness to work together on matters.
He believed that there were a number of positive elements to the Plan and noted that some would change overtime. He hoped that the ambitious targets for carbon neutrality could be met and noted that there were significant challenges to address. In regard to the Green Group’s amendments, he confirmed that the Conservative Group would support No’s 26 to 33. He hoped that the Conservative amendments would be supported.
88.9 Councillor Bell formally seconded the amendments and reserved his right to speak in the debate.
88.10 The Mayor then stated that she would adjourn the meeting for a short break before opening the mater for debate. The meeting was adjourned from 5.30 to 5.35pm.

88.13 Councillor Janio formally seconded the proposal.
88.14 The Mayor noted the proposal and stated that she did not believe there had been a sufficient period of debate on the matter and therefore would not accept the motion to move to a vote.

88.16 The Mayor noted that Councillor Bell had reserved his right to speak in formally seconding the Conservative Group’s amendments and invited him to speak before calling on Councillor Platts as the Leader of the Council to respond to the debate.
88.17 Councillor Bell thanked the Mayor and stated that the council had a significant series of votes ahead of it which would have an impact on the city. He hoped that the amendments outlined would be accepted and stated that the council’s housing targets could still be delivered over the next ten years. There was a need to protect the city’s green spaces for future generations and to ensure the city did not become a concrete jungle.
88.18 The Mayor then called on Councillor Platts to respond to the debate.
88.19 Councillor Platts stated that she wanted to thank all the officers and councillors who had put so much hard work into developing the Plan. She also wished to encourage everyone in the city to engage in the consultation process and stated that final approval of the Plan would give a framework for the next decade. It would also help the city council to deliver on its priorities such as affordable housing and tackling the climate crisis. There was a clear ambition to become a net carbon emission city. She also welcomed a number of the amendments that had been put forward which showed the shared aspirations for the benefit of the city and wished to commend the Plan to the Council.
