Representation Summary:

Errors in statements identified

6.35 bullet 2. There can not be any effect on views from within the SDNP to the North.

"The site lies within 1km of the National Park boundary"
This is irrelevant as the same distance factor is not being considered with proximity to the AONB.

"and is open to views from Goodwood"
views from aerodrome or motor circuit irrelevant in planning terms

"and The Trundle to the north"
The justification here is therefore flawed

6.35 bullet 4. "and protects important views of Chichester Cathedral spire". Views from the proposed site are very limited of the cathedral.

6.35 bullet 2. There are a number of considerations here. The statement is "Landscape sensitivity, particularly in terms of views towards and from within the SouthDowns National Park to the north"
There is an error in this sentence as there can not be any effect on views from within the SDNP to the North.

"The site lies within 1km of the National Park boundary"
This is irrelevant as the same distance factor is not being considered with proximity to the AONB where the impact is the same if not greater and he proximity is less than 100 metres.

"and is open to views from Goodwood"
views from an aerodrome or motor circuit is irrelevant in planning terms and this is not a factor in declining a suitable strategic site

"and The Trundle to the north"
The justification here is therefore flawed
