Objection to policy on grounds that it has failed to be properly assessed in line with The Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes Regulations 2004 - Regulation 12; unjustified removal of strategic housing site at Selsey - removing site from plan condemns population of Selsey relying on B2145 to effective abandonment; reasonable alternatives not tested in SA. Supporting evidence for Selsey site attached.
To make the plan sound the strategic site at Selsey needs to be reinstated in the plan with commensurate testing in the SA. The allocation would need to ensure that the development deals with flood resilience for access and egress to the B2145 in a proportionate way, working with the relevant agencies. The significant benefits of providing (partial) flood resilience to the wider community of Selsey needs to be recognised as part of the planning policy balance.
