Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 3862

Received: 01/03/2023

Respondent: Mr Michael Wright

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

The Plan fails to demonstrate how the proposed new scattered development areas can reduce car travel and improve public transport coverage/service. The scattered developments are residential low rise that have insufficient density to support public transport.
Secondly, The Plan acknowledges that many residents work outside Chichester but does not show a strategic plan to create substantial employment opportunites near Chichester to reduce car travel/trips and regenerate public transport. The Plan compares poorly with some other English City plans

Change suggested by respondent:

Increase density of developments. Reduce encroachment into green belt areas distant from the City Centre. Explain how local public transport can transformed into a useable service by the majority of the population.
