Representation ID: 5812

Received: 17/03/2023

Respondent: Kirdford Parish Council

Agent: Troy Planning + Design

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

The Objectives only mention Water Neutrality in passing and it comes across as an ‘add on’ or ‘afterthought’ by CDC despite it being a very important issue for the Local Plan. There is no mention of the Sussex North Water Resource Zone or the Arun Valley SPA / SAC.

Change suggested by respondent:

Suggest new Objective on topic of Water Neutrality is created and Objective is made measurable so that it is an effective Objective. The Objective should as a minimum first seek to restrict growth in the Sussex North Water Resource Zone (WRZ) and where development must take place then there will be a need to reduce water
demand through clearly set and agreed targets for water usage across the WRZ and its offsetting as set out in the Water Neutrality Study: Part C – Mitigation Strategy (November 2022).
