The Access Policy, authored by Melanie
Staunton and dated June 2024, has been formally adopted by Arun
District Council as of August 2024. This policy provides a
framework for accessing Council-owned, leasehold, and shared
ownership properties for repairs, home visits, compliance work, and
urgent welfare checks. The policy ensures that access is conducted
respectfully, with transparency, and minimal disruption to
residents. It establishes procedures for handling denied access and
outlines the legal remedies available when necessary.
