Representation Summary:

The capacity at Bosham sewage works is zero, therefore the housing allocation must be zero not 245.
The Q90 Dry Weather Flow rate limit set by the Environment agency is 1221 m3 per day for Bosham wwtw.
The latest actual Q90 Dry Weather Flow rate for 2021 for Bosham was 1339 m3 per day which is above the limit.
Therefore no new housing can be allocated until Southern Water bring forward their plans for upgrading the Bosham sewage works. They have not done this as at Feb 2023. There is simply no capacity at the sewage works for new housing.

Change suggested by respondent:

The allocated housing for Bosham should be 0 not 245
