‘Local plan doesn’t protect Arun communities from increasing flood risk’
Arun District Council will ask the government to freeze large-scale development in the area while the impact of climate change on homes along the coast is explored.
At a meeting on Wednesday (September 18), a notice of motion was tabled by Tony Dixon (Ind, Aldwick East) calling on chief executive Nigel Lynn to ask for a meeting with the relevant government minister to discuss the matter.
The motion also declared that the council had no confidence in its own Local Plan – policies which will guide development in the district up to 2031.
