Brighton and Chichester; Third meeting of series nine of TEN

On October 26th the TEN Group were joined  by planners from Norwich, Cambridge, and Peterborough, as well as London. We examined the progress in meeting zero carbon objectives at the New England Quarter in Brighton (which URBED masterplanned) and Graylingwell Park in Chichester, one of the members of the Sustainable Urban Neighbourhoods Network. The visit confirmed the importance of matching the standards and practices to the location, and of adopting appropriate parking policies.
