Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035
Representation ID: 3117
Received: 06/02/2019
Respondent: Chichester Harbour Conservancy
Representation Summary:
Chichester Harbour has an extensive network of biodiversity which is nationally and internationally important. Yet there is no mention of Chichester Harbour in this policy. Chichester District Council are also advised that a developer in Chidham cleared a site of all trees before submitting a planning application (17/03626/OUT). This practice completely undermines the policy.
The LPA should undertake a biodiversity audit to form a baseline and monitor developments against this policy to demonstrate the net gains in biodiversity required by the NPPF.
