Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 4437

Received: 16/03/2023

Respondent: Mrs Jane Towers

Representation Summary:

Sadly, this is a missed opportunity to create a significant number of quality, affordable, eco homes to meet the housing need. It would be the most sustainable location of any in the plan, not requiring a car to access every day facilities, schooling, employment etc. It would attract the very young people and families that are needed to regenerate the city. Retail uses are really not needed here. South Street is full of empty retail units and the city centre is drowning in coffee shops.
This would be in danger of becoming another white elephant like Chichester Gate.
