Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 5230

Received: 17/03/2023

Respondent: Mrs Sarah Headlam

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

Not entirely sound as makes no mention of population in balance and its effect on housing provision.

Change suggested by respondent:

Should also include that there is a need to rebalance the population mix in Chichester to nearer the national average. The Council expects the percentage of over 65s to increase to 35% by 2035 and that this will challenge health and service provision. Recommend that no open market detached housing be permitted to assist in rebalancing the population mix to nearer the national average.
