Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 4955

Received: 17/03/2023

Respondent: Chichester Harbour Conservancy

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

Chichester Harbour Conservancy is seriously concerned about this allocation. The NPPF states "The scale and extent of development within all these designated areas should be limited, while development within their setting should be sensitively located and designed to avoid or minimise adverse impacts on the designated areas." To further urbanise the boundary would have a disastrous impact on the AONB designation, with clear visibility from the AONB boundary. If this development goes ahead, it will question the fundamental principle of a 'protected' landscape, and open the doors to the further degradation of the AONB boundary.

Change suggested by respondent:

Delete A11 and create a Wildlife Corridor instead.
