Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 2735

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Sussex Wildlife Trust

Representation Summary:

We do not think that the evidence base for the PAP is sufficient in terms of assessing the ability of the District's natural capital to absorb the level and location of development proposed.
in general, the level of greenfield development proposed is concerning. Little consideration of brownfield alternatives contrary to paragraph 117 of the NPPF.
Little explanation of how the housing numbers were divided up between settlements of the same type (policy S2). No consideration of recreation disturbance for Chichester and Pagham Harbours. Green infrastructure requirements to be delivered before any new dwellings are occupied within a site.
