ARUN GROWTH DEAL 2018-2023
GROWTH DEAL PRINCIPLES
This Growth Deal builds upon the priorities identified within the Arun Place Plan (2016) which provides a
joint growth narrative for Arun District Council and West Sussex County Council.
More widely, the Growth Deal supports the delivery of the Emerging Arun Local Plan (2011-2031) and the
West Sussex Plan 2017 – 2022.
The Growth Deal strengthens accountability and identifies coherent ways of the Councils working together,
improving communication, co-operation and efficiency. The Councils have agreed to work cooperatively and
in partnership to deliver specific growth priorities (set out in Appendix A).
The Councils will agree opportunities for aligning and prioritising funding from all available funding streams
and their own budgets/programmes when appropriate to support the delivery of priorities identified within
the Arun Growth Deal.
The focus of the Growth Deal is the development and delivery of priorities identified in an action plan over
the next 5 years (2018 to 2023). Both Councils will focus their resources to ensure timely and constructive
input into the delivery of all Growth Deal priorities, and in particular the activities identified in Appendix A.
The Council’s will ensure that internal responses to development proposals are both substantive and made in
a timely manner. There will be other programmes and projects, not covered by the Deal, where the Councils
will work together to achieve the most effective outcomes for communities. The principles established in this
Growth Deal may be helpful in developing working practices in other areas in the future. The priorities and
ways of working highlighted in this Growth Deal do not remove, or alter, the Councils’ statutory duties and
do not suggest or represent any pre-determination with respect to planning issues – the statutory planning
process will be progressed as required for all proposals identified in the Growth Deal.
The Councils will ensure where possible appropriate project management and quality management systems
are in place to support the delivery of the Growth Deal priorities. Appropriate officer support will be
assigned to the overall management of the Growth Programme to ensure the work is monitored and regular
progress reports are provided to the Arun Growth Board. Some issues or items will be commercially and
politically sensitive and in such instances, handled within each of the Councils’ established internal
procedures.
Should Arun District Council and West Sussex County Council agree that there would be benefit in developing
additional Plans for Growth sites with Parish and Town Councils to identify local infrastructure needs and
how these needs might be delivered, then the Council’s will provide an advocacy role to support the Parish /
Town Councils.
The Council’s will work together to identify new opportunities and undertake pipe-line planning in relation
to the development of business plans, programmes and projects to consider whether any exceptional issues
should impact on the existing action plan commitments and consider longer term opportunities that may
support the delivery of growth outcomes.
The Growth Deal will be reviewed initially after 6 months and then annually. Progress will be measured
against the Action Plan deliverables and milestones. Any proposed amendments will be agreed by the
Leaders and Chief Executive Officers.

ARUN GROWTH DEAL 2018-2023
The Growth Deal Governance Framework
The governance framework will ensure that the Growth Deal principles are achieved and the Growth Deal
priorities are effectively delivered, with any risks or issues being escalated and resolved via the respective
authorities’ governance frameworks.
The Arun Growth Board
The Growth Board, comprising officers of the Councils, will usually meet monthly to:
Provide strategic leadership and direction to the Growth Programme.
Ensure the alignment of investment to support the delivery of the Growth Programme.
Monitor growth projects, and priorities, considering progress made and if required agreeing remedial
action to enhance delivery.
Examine new opportunities to progress strategic growth projects, ensuring joint governance decisions
and project initiation are taken as appropriate where projects involve a clear partnership approach.
Be appraised of issues and obstacles affecting project delivery, agreeing action to boost progress where
appropriate.
Support the development of project teams to ensure the appropriate combination of officer input and
expertise in key disciplines is achieved.
Senior elected members nominated by the Leaders, or the Leaders of the Councils will join the Board every 6
months if required and at least once a year.
WSCC Growth Programme Delivery Manager and ADC Group Head of Economy will:
Consider the progress of projects across the Growth Programme to inform reporting to Growth
Board.
Make recommendations to the Growth Board on investment options and also individual project
teams in relation to proposals during the design and development stages to provide direction and
extra impetus for individual projects.
Individual project teams
Individual project teams will ensure delivery of the Growth Programme projects and will be established as
projects reach an appropriate point and resources allow. Project Teams will involve a lead officer and other
officers providing technical input. Stakeholder engagement and communication, also proportionate to
individual projects, will enable effective communication, assist in timely decision making, support the
Councils’ statutory responsibilities, and input to other functions, where required.
Other Boards, Committees and Partnership Forums
A range of other wider Boards, Committees and Partnership Forums are likely to have an interest, function or
involvement in the progression of the growth projects identified within the Growth Programme (e.g. ADC
Bognor Regis Regeneration Sub Committee, Littlehampton Regeneration Sub Committee*, CLCs and their
Highways and Transport Sub Committees). *
Both Council’s will support the Bognor Regis Regeneration Board which will be influential in driving forward
growth deal priorities in Bognor Regis. **
5
ARUN GROWTH DEAL 2018-2023
Advisory Groups have been established for the key strategic development allocations which will bring
together elected representatives of the County Council, District Council and relevant Parish and Town
Councils, together with other key agencies, organisations, and developers to discuss individual proposals and
the timely delivery of key infrastructure. The Advisory Groups will consider delivery programmes, monitor
progress and identify / resolve cross authority issues ensuring that risks are minimised.
All key issues arising from Boards, Committees and Partnership Forums on growth priorities in this deal will
be escalated to and considered by the Arun Growth Board.
*To discuss the implementation of development plan allocations and residential permissions in the
Littlehampton area and accompanying section 106 agreements including longer term operational and
management responsibilities; such discussions to give informal advice and guidance to the responsible
planning and highway authorities when carrying out their statutory functions.
**To provide a forum for discussion with other statutory bodies, developers and by invitation, when relevant,
resident’s groups and potential users of new facilities – as to the best way to proceed with the provision,
management and use of the numerous community facilities embedded in the scheme and specifically
provided for by way of the planning permission and section 106 agreement.

ARUN GROWTH DEAL 2018-2023
The Growth Deal Priorities
The Action Plan in
Appendix A identifies key steps required to progress the priorities identified within this
Growth Deal.
The overall aims of each priority are outlined in the Action Plan alongside the shared approach the Councils
will take to support and, where appropriate, manage and monitor the progression of associated projects. If
the council is the project lead they will ensure the timely progression of work and bring in subject matter
expertise and specific technical input as required.
Where the Councils are not the lead partner and other external or private sector partners are leading, the
Councils will provide support where appropriate to help deliver the Growth Deal priorities.
The Councils’ professional services including Planning, Highways, Transport, Education, Estates and Legal and
Finance will be required to provide support to the progression of projects. The Action Plan identifies key
decision points – projects will only be progressed beyond key decision points when the appropriate
governance processes have been completed within each authority.
The commitment that the Council’s will make to each project will fall in to one of the following categories.
The Action Plan identifies the agreed category for each of the actions and applies them to each Council
where appropriate.
A – Advocacy, publically supporting the work on the priority
TS – Technical Support, providing business as usual technical support
I – Intervention, intervening beyond business as usual to ensure the delivery of the priority
D – Delivery
