Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission
Representation ID: 3882

Respondent: Dr Carolyn Cobbold
Most of the large horticulture sites are located within easy reach of the A27 due to the size of lorries needed in modern horticulture. The Manhood Peninsula has a history of small-holding growers with its roads being unsuitable for large lorries. However, there is potential for more organic growers and trainee growers/farmers to operate on the Manhood peninsula and to create a stronger link to the area's tourism and foodie culture. There is already a Heritage Trail around the historic smallholdings of Sidlesham and Almodington.
