Within Policy S2 (Settlement Hierarchy) Bracklesham is identified in the Council's Settlement Hierarchy Paper (December 2018) as a Settlement Hub where there is a range of service and facilities with a reasonable size population base to support them. Bracklesham is one of only four identified Settlement Hubs identified as being secondary service centres after only Chichester itself. The Council therefore, acknowledges that Bracklesham is a sustainable location. Whilst my clients site lies in Earnley Parish, it lies on the eastern edge of the Bracklesham / East Wittering built up area and is therefore, closely related to this settlement in terms of the general pattern of development. The western boundary of the site abuts the eastern edge of the Bracklesham / East Wittering settlement as proposed to be extended through the Plan. The site is therefore, a logical addition to development in this area which will support the continued viability of existing services and facilities in Bracklesham and East Wittering whilst also being close enough to Earnley to equally support its services. The allocation of the site for development would represent a sustainable pattern of growth regardless of administrative boundaries and the current hierarchy reflects this principle.
