City Plan: scoping stage and survey

Our scoping consultation is the first stage of consultation in preparing our new City Plan.

The consultation is structured around the following topic areas:

  • where development should go - our spatial strategy
  • homes for everyone
  • sustainability and climate change
  • a diverse and sustainable city economy
  • design and place-making
  • culture and tourism
  • healthy city and communities
  • biodiversity and the natural environment
  • transport and infrastructure

Each topic area identifies the main issues and includes consultation questions. It also summarises any relevant responses from our Key Issues consultation that we carried out last year. You can read about the main issues whilst you are taking the survey, or you can read them in a PDF.

We also want to know how you would like us to engage with you and there are some questions about this at the end of the survey.

Analysing responses

8 September 2026 - 2 February 2027

Thank you for all your responses.

We are now collating and analysing all your responses.

We will publish a Consultation Statement which summarises the consultation including who responded and the issues raised before we start the next stage of consultation on the City Plan. This will be published on Yourvoice as well as be made available in libraries and at Hove Town Hall.

We will also publish an Engagement Plan which will explain how we will engage with you in future stages of consultation.
