Representation ID: 3985

Received: 10/03/2023

Respondent: Mr James Birkett

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

There are two adjacent sites on Kingsham Road, The Police land and WSCC land. These should be merged for residential. This overcomes the issue of SFRA – which reduces development area of the police land; creates a larger and more sustainable neighbourhood; allows the flood zone offset against a larger site; allows this site to be residential led, against healthcare which is inappropriate in this location; provides a higher value for the relocation of the hockey pitch cost.

Change suggested by respondent:

By merging The Police and WSCC land a much larger car free neighbourhood can be created within walking / cycling of the transport hub local government hub and medical centre and Chichester's retail and restaurant/ cafe offering.
