Draft Interim Policy Statement for Housing Development

Representation ID: 3567

Received: 07/07/2020

Respondent: Mr Roger Hitch

Representation Summary:

Paragraph 4.6 of the Statement refers to development "that would change the character of a place". This policy should be used to carefully control the development of housing in Lavant Road to ensure that the character and ambience of the road are maintained.

I also refer to paragraph 6.2.3. This must ensure that there should be no development on the land between the northern edge of Summersdale and the village of Lavant - " the actual or perceived coalescence of settlements". To fill in this gap would be to the detriment the city of Chichester and the village of Lavant.
