Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 4626

Received: 16/03/2023

Respondent: Mr Antony Loader

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

The plan does not comply with all relevant requirements of the Planning & compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 as amended. It doesn't meet the CDC's Sustainability Appraisal Report when judged against other reasonable options due to both the lack of infrastructure (Extremely limited bus service and Loxwod no longer meets the criteria of a service village as it has no shop) and lack of sustainability. It also fails to meet environmental requirements. There are numerous other points but can't be made in 100 words!

Change suggested by respondent:

The number of 220 additional new houses allocated to Loxwood should be removed from the plan and the the figure previously allocated with sites democratically chosen by residents remaining. Loxwood should not be described as a Service Village due to the lack of village shop and extremely limited public transport.
