Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 3892

Received: 06/03/2023

Respondent: The Bosham Association

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

This site is outside of the Bosham settlement boundary and is farmland. It was deemed the least suitable place for development and there are hundreds of local objections to developing this site. 245 houses is a massive increase in the size of the village with very few extra facilities provided for this scale of development. The site has only one entrance and exit by road onto the A259 and this will result in an increase in air pollution as vehicles queue to get into and out of the development at peak times.

Change suggested by respondent:

Policy A11 needs to be removed from the plan. 245 houses were not in the neighbourhood plan. There were 50 proposed houses in the neighbourhood plan and planning permission was granted. This permission then expired because the developer land banked the permission in order to try and push further development through using the titled balance argument.
