Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 1650

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Heaver Homes Ltd

Agent: King & Co c/o ATP

Representation Summary:

We agree that Bosham is capable of accommodating further sustainable growth to enhance its role. However, we feel that the extent of growth which is necessary to secure a step-change improvement in Bosham's performance as a Service Village is unlikely to be achieved through the draft AL7 allocation. Significant infrastructure is necessary both by consequence of the proposal and to remedy existing deficiencies. The Council should give detailed consideration to opportunities for more substantial growth to meet Longer Term Growth Requirements and the critical mass of infrastructure which is needed. Land north of the railway line provides an ideal opportunity.
