Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 4417

Received: 16/03/2023

Respondent: Mr John Wolfenden

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

The range of facilities is limited to small Co-op grocery store with combined post office and a wedding dress shop. You have vastly underestimated the needs for a community you propose to double in size. The only provision is for a 5-7 year old nursery. Vastly inadequate, no consideration for upper schooling. GP Surgery is currently not taking any new patients, inadequate resource for proposed expansion. Road access not good - with extra 2500 cars requiring access.

Change suggested by respondent:

You need to recognise the complete inadequacy of the existing grocery shops for an additional 2500 -3000 people. You need to make provision for upper school places. You need to develop a expanded medical centre plan. Your traffic estimates will need revision to your access to M27. You have no policing plan. What about Dental amenities? Flooding issues in Church Lane not addressed. No consideration in the plan for protected wildlife species newts and bats. Allotments move to Church Lane has been heavily opposed by allotment folk due to flooding of the proposed new site.
