Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 3971

Received: 08/03/2023

Respondent: The Bosham Association

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

Objection grounds similar to those for A11, including:

i) non-compliance with NE16 due to insufficient wastewater treatment capacity for housing proposed, and adverse impact on water quality of Chichester Harbour; no guarantee or timetabled plan for upgrades;

ii) lack of road network capacity (esp. Fishbourne roundabout), associated impacts on congestion and air quality, and no guaranteed major improvements;

iii) lack of primary education capacity; schools inaccessible via walking/public transport;

iv) inappropriate proposed community facilities and inadequate existing rural amenities;

v) significant public and local opposition to proposal.

Change suggested by respondent:

Policy A12 should be removed for similar reasons to those given in the document attached.
There should be a moratorium on development until wastewater treatment can be guaranteed and the mitigation needed for the A27 junctions can be guaranteed.

Full text:

There are hundreds of objections locally to this site's inclusion. There was permission given for 50 houses which appear to have been land banked by the developer to try and force through planning permission using the tilted balance approach. Now that the government is changing the NPPF to give communities greater input into development in their area, the objections of our 435 members and the objections of the hundreds of other families in our small community, the objections of our parish council and neighbouring parish councils which are in the summary below and attached document should be considered and carry weight.
