Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 4854

Received: 17/03/2023

Respondent: Environment Agency

Representation Summary:

We note that no sites are within any medium to high risk flood zones, which we are supportive of. Some sites may need to consider wastewater infrastructure availability, bearing in mind the hierarchy set out in paragraph 020 of the Planning Practice Guidance for Water supply, wastewater and water quality (i.e. “the first presumption is to provide a system of foul drainage discharging into a public sewer to be treated at a public sewage treatment works”).

We note that Policy H14 specifies that suitable services are needed for sites.
