As the Non-Strategic Parish Housing requirements set out in this policy are based on the dwelling requirement set out in Policy H1 which itself fails to provide for the housing needs of the plan area it has not been positively prepared. In addition it does not take into account the unmet needs of neighbouring authorities or nearby authorities in the same sub-region and as such is not effective. As a result of the inadequacies Policy H3 is not consistent with national policy, and overall it does not comply with the tests of soundness.
When revised dwelling requirement is established for Policy H1, housing figure in Policy H3 for Westbourne should be increased above currently proposed figure of 30 dwellings. Westbourne is a sustainable location for additional development, recognised by allocations in previous Local Plans and more recent housing allocations in ‘made’ Westbourne Neighbourhood Plan 2021. Less likely to generate traffic movements on the A27 Chichester Bypass.
