Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 322

Received: 23/01/2019

Respondent: Mr Paul Sansby

Representation Summary:

A new Regional sewerage solution is needed to replace the unsustainable use of Aldingbourne Rife for sewage disposal.With large housing allocations to the north of Chichester Harbour it will not be possible to discharge effluent from Thornham WWTW and Bosham WWTW in future. Tighter standards for Nitrates and Phosphates will make these works redundant and the only sustainable solution is to treat all the flows at Apuldram and discharge at Bracklesham. A regional solution will allow future effluent re-use if this becomes desirable.
