Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 4738

Received: 17/03/2023

Respondent: Mr Stuart Lockwood

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

The proposed allocation of dwellings for the Loxwood Ward are disproportionate in scale to the other larger areas mentioned. ie: 220 dwellings for Loxwood and 270 for Chichester City ??
The infrastructure here in the Loxwood ward is barely able to cope with the existing houses requirements in relation to public transport, schools places, doctors surgeries etc... Further development in the area is unsustainable and therefore should be reconsidered. There are other applications too for large scale housing developments at Crouchlands Farm with 600 dwellings.

Change suggested by respondent:

Reduce the allocated numbers of proposed dwellings in this rural, isolated area to prevent permanent disfigurement of the area.
