Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission
Representation ID: 4348
Received: 16/03/2023
Respondent: Mr Stephen Jupp
Legally compliant? No
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? No
Object to policy as it is contradictory and unclear and has no sound basis.
Substantially amend the policy to provide much greater clarity
There is no sound biodiversity basis for: (1) the designation of these corridors in principle and (2) their boundaries are ad hoc and not based on any precise ecological basis - for example they comprise a series of straight lines and pother cut through houses and gardens which clearly are not part fo a wildlife corridor
The wording is contradictory since the last para implies that the policy excludes householder applications but the policy is very wide ranging and would appear to apply to ALL development proposals.
The first 2 paras seem contradictory - para 1 allows development provided no adverse impact. Para 2 implies not development at all provided you can show not only there is no advisor impact but also there are no sequentlially preferable sites
