Duty to co-operate? Yes
Given the significant constraints on the plan area and the fact that the standard methodology need no longer apply when there are exceptional circumstances we feel this number is too high. It represents a reduction of only 100 houses a year. The number should be reduced to a figure reflecting the fact that only 30% of the plan area is developable. It is not possible to squeeze that amount of housing into this area without considerable detrimental impact on local residents and our environment.
Reduce the housing number from 10,350 and plead exceptional circumstances for Chichester District and its residents.
