Consultation on the Chichester Local Plan 2021-2039 ended on 17th March 2023.

We are currently working our way through all the representations recieved, preparing responses, and where appropriate, drafting suggested changes to the plan.  All the comments received, along with our responses and proposed modifications, will be submitted to an independent planning inspector appointed by the Secretary of State who will examine the Plan (together with a range of supporting documents). The Inspector will consider the representations received by the council to the proposed submission version of the Plan to inform his or her decision about whether the Plan can be adopted by the council, or whether it must first be amended to make it 'sound' and to ensure it meets legal and national policy tests.

If any significant modifications are thought necessary by the Inspector, these will be the subject of further consultation.
