If you wish to submit details of a new site, or provide an update on an existing site, please complete our online e-form. The form and guidance notes are on our website (https://www.arun.gov.uk/helaa-brownfield-land-self-build-registers)
Submissions can include any previously developed land and existing Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment (HELAA) sites.
