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

54. 6.35 bullet 4. "and protects important views of Chichester Cathedral spire". The views from the proposed site are very limited of the cathedral. In terms of the land gradient the building is unlikely to affect the views of the cathedral and line of site needs to apply. This is not a reason for rejection of this site that can be developed for employment space. Unless this is adequately addressed in future iterations of the plan I will wish to raise this with the examiner at the appropriate juncture.
