Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 4012

Received: 11/03/2023

Respondent: Mrs Jane Towers

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

1) Development is patently not located or designed to minimise traffic generation. Unless there is a fully integrated and planned modal shift requiring substantial investment car use will rise exponentially. Locating so much housing out of the city in areas which have minimal facilities will lead to many more car journeys. If your nearest shop or pharmacy is 2/3 miles away are you going to wait for a bus scheduled every 30 mims, walk 40 mims each way or get in the car?

Change suggested by respondent:

Housing allocation to be reduced and located more to the city.
