Bellway note the contents of draft Policy NE19, the supporting text of which cross-references Policy NE16 and largely replicates draft Policy NE6(b). As such, the need for draft Policy NE19 is unclear. It certainly presents an opportunity for consolidation. Bellway acknowledge that nutrient neutrality is an evolving issue and would encourage Chichester Council to consider the implications of the LURB through the SHRA. The lack of identification of either Council led, or third party, solutions to deliver credits is disappointing.
The draft Policy should be expanded to actively promote and encourage suitable schemes, which might yield wider environmental benefits.
