Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 1528

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Natural England

Representation Summary:

Natural England is concerned that this allocation scored poorly in the Sustainability Appraisal (SA), particularly in relation to waste water treatment, landscape and BMV land.

The SA states that Bosham WwTW does not have the capacity to take effluent from the site. Please see Natural England's comments under S31 and regarding the HRA. Clause 9 should be amended to include water quality as well as recreational impacts.

A LVIA should inform the site allocation as to whether views from the NP or AONB will be affected, and whether mitigation is possible without harming the open character of the site.
