The Council’s latest Transport Study published in January 2023 has identified that all other housing development which comes forward which is not allocated will have to pay a levy of £7,728 per dwelling which is a substantial increase per dwelling from the £1,402 per dwelling levy set out in the Planning Obligations and Affordable Housing SPD (2016) towards improvements to the Fishbourne Roundabout and the Bognor Road Roundabout. Gladman have concerns that this significant increase in the levy from the Planning Obligations and Affordable Housing SPD is going to make some speculative applications for small and medium housing sites unviable. For Gladman’s scheme at land off Main Road, Birdham, a residential scheme for up to 150 dwellings, this would equate to a financial contribution of £1,159,200 (£7,728 x 150 dwellings).
