Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 1647

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Heaver Homes Ltd

Agent: King & Co c/o ATP

Representation Summary:

We agree that there is a requirement for development in Bosham to allow the settlement to perform strongly as a Service Village. The scale of development to secure that step-change in performance and infrastructure (i.e. highway improvements, school and other facilities) to mitigate harm and deliver tangible improvements.

Our view is that the Highgrove Farm allocation land will be unable to deliver that critical mass. We suggest that the Council should reconsider and look at land north of the train line for a genuinely strategic opportunity to meet longer term growth requirements and contribution to OAN over the Plan period.
