Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission
Representation ID: 5402
Received: 17/03/2023
Respondent: Bellway Homes (Wessex) Ltd
Agent: Chapman Lily Planning
Bellway supports draft Policy H5, which requires the delivery of an appropriate type and size, consistent with the most up to date HEDNA. Bellway welcome that planning permission can be granted for an alternative mix subject to a robust evidencing that the proposal addresses any housing imbalance that exists or that it addresses need and demand for affordable housing, self-build housing, older person and specialised housing. Bellway contend that the draft Policy ‘Housing Mix’ as conveyed in the Pre-submission Plan has been positively prepared, is fully justified, effective and consistent with the NPPF.
Bellway recommend that criterion 3 also includes reference to need for the housing mix to take into account the location of the site, for example city centre sites are more suitable for a higher density form of development with smaller units vs other sites where a greater proportion of family housing may be appropriate.
