Representation Summary:

This housing need shortfall is exacerbated by the fact that the Plan fails to take account of the full potential of all of the new strategic locations within the District, such as Boxgrove. This strategic level of growth could amount to at least 200 homes, significantly greater than that proposed in Plan Policy H3, which states that, as a ‘service village’, 50 dwellings could ‘come forward through the neighbourhood planning process’. Paragraph 3.19, Page 38, of the Regulation 19 document cites some of the reasons for this limited growth within non-strategic Parishes, such as Boxgrove, as being:

• Land Availability.
• Landscape Considerations.
• Settlement Patterns.
• Available Infrastructure.

Indeed, there is an evidence base that supports the case that Boxgrove has the potential to accommodate a strategic level of housing growth, rather than the conclusion that it has limited capacity due to constraints – or the 50 homes proposed by CDC in Plan Policy H3.
