Express concern over apparent disparity in year-on-year affordable housing needs, as flagged in the ICENI HEDNA (see attachment for detail). Given scale of affordability challenge, aspiration to optimise proportion of affordable homes is commended. Support delivery of affordable homes. Strategic allocation A5 and wider Southern Gateway could, subject to viability
considerations, ensure timely provision of affordable housing within Chichester City. Great care should be taken to avoid prejudicing delivery by ensuring suitable flexibility is ‘built in’ to the local plan.
