Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 3854

Received: 28/02/2023

Respondent: The Bosham Association

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

The site at Policy A11 does nothing to support the rural economy or allow the local community to thrive. There is a proposed 3rd village hall as part of the development which is neither wanted or needed and allotments which were specifically argued against at the planning consultation stage. The development in the plan proposed for the A259 corridor will exacerbate local traffic congestion and put a strain on the already overwhelmed sewerage system, strategic road network and resources such as the village shop and oversubscribed Dr surgery.

Change suggested by respondent:

Policy A11 needs to be removed from the plan.
Policy A12 should be removed from the plan for the same reasons.
An assessment on the impact of traffic along the stretch of the A259 between Fishbourne and Southbourne should be carried out.
