Received: 17/03/2023

Respondent: Rydon Homes Limited

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

Overall, we feel that CDC should be meeting their identified housing need and we disagree with the Council’s justification on meeting a sub-identified need that there is insufficient capacity (due to constraints) within parts of the District.

Furthermore, we feel that the Plan is unsound. It does not adequately meet current housing need. House prices in the Chichester District are 14 times the average earnings for those working within it and there is a need for 200 social and affordable rented houses per annum for the Plan period to 2039.
