Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Respondent: Mr Gary Axon
Legally compliant? No
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Not specified
The plan is not legally compliant because it is inconsistent with the Sustainability Appraisal and there is a failure to take sufficient account of the aim to achieve environmental objectives. Saxon Meadow is a conservation area and the plan does not protect or enhance this part of Tangmere with its rich heritage around the church and the old farm buildings which are now Saxon Meadow.
It is not sound as the size of the proposed development is not sympathetic to this conservation area and is extremely out of keeping with it. Not sufficient evidence of seeking alternative areas which will not impact on an area of such beauty and tranquility.
Move the proposed development to a a more appropriate non rural / non conservation are and designate Tangmere and Oving as part of the South Downs National Park.
