CDC commissioned a Landscape Capacity Study to provide evidence where the landscape and visual impacts of development would be greatest, therefore to identify which areas have the greatest capacity to accommodate change without causing significant and detrimental damage to the landscapes within the plan area.
There is no reference or recognition of this in the policy or the proposed allocation of sites especially in the East/West corridor. There is land around Chichester where the landscape and visual impacts would be lower. In landscape and visual terms these sites should be selected before the release of lower capacity sites.
As a results of the conclusions in the Landscape Capacity Study of Sub-area 91 between Bosham and Fishbourne, the proposed allocations should avoid areas of medium / low capacity, which are constrained by its rural character.
