Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 3951

Received: 09/03/2023

Respondent: Ms Catharina de Haas

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? Yes

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

This should not be a separate entry in the local plan but should be part of the overall Southern Gateway Masterplan. The premise of creating a green low traffic area makes sense, though vehicular access to Kingsham Road has to be planned carefully: destination traffic only for example.

Change suggested by respondent:

The proposal below is not entirely clear on what is planned on the site, so it is difficult to make changes. However, housing could be built on or along the field to integrate the row of houses along Kingsham Road into a new community with shared facilities. The field is a flood risk area, so if housing is proposed it could be on a raised deck with parking underneath. The whole plan should be sensitive to biodiversity net gain, use of stormwater for irrigation, and renewable energy. It could be integrated into larger ecological schemes in Chichester such as the greening of the Lavant.
