Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 226

Received: 19/01/2019

Respondent: Iain Burgess

Representation Summary:

I am supportive of the removal of the large field to the West of Madgwick Lane and East of the River Lavant from the Existing Strategic Site Allocation. The preservation of this strategic gap between Chichester and Westhampnett and Goodwood Airfield/Motor Circuit is important for a number of reasons:

1. It maintains the individual identity of each of the three areas
2. It maintains the view of the cathedral spire
3. It provides natural flood resilience for the River Lavant, given the housing proposed to the West of the Strategic Site
4. It avoids building houses too close to noise

The preservation of this strategic gap between Chichester and Westhampnett and Goodwood Airfield/Motor Circuit is important for a number of reasons:

1. It maintains the individual identity of each of the three component areas
2. It maintains the view of the cathedral spire
3. It provides natural flood resilience for the River Lavant, given the housing proposed to the West of the Strategic Site
4. It avoids building houses too close to the increased noise generated at times from Goodwood Airfield/Motor Circuit.
