Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 4971

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. The Conservancy cannot support Policy A12 without knowing further details about the location of the development, the mitigation measures, etc. Furthermore, as with A11 and A13, the Policy may conflict with other draft Policies in the Local Plan.

Change suggested by respondent:

Provide more detail on the allocation and the impact it may have on the AONB. Without a better understanding, the Conservancy must Object.
