Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

The bus station site creates an opportunity for a central employment / government hub adjacent to the station. WSCC, CDC, Medical Centre Sussex Police and Fire Authority are all considering relocating. Common areas of reception, meetings room, council room, canteen and welfare would rationalise occupational use. It would also provide substantial working benefits as officers and members would meet in the communal areas. Releasing all the land of these organisations would add far more than 110 dwellings The bus depot would make a music venue supported by Chichester University and the public.

Change suggested by respondent:

Create an employment local government hub as outlined. Convert the bus depot to a world class music venue. Meetings with Chichester University who have the largest music department in the South East outside London demonstrated they would be very supportive. All the land released by WSCC, CDC, Police, Fire could create around 250+ dwellings.
