Addresses character and distinctiveness but is more about general principles rather than policies specific to Chichester District and its individual places. Together, P1 and P2 should point to the ability for communities to prepare local design codes through neighbourhood plans which would represent a more specific version of the design policies. Policies currently unclear about need for ‘major development’ to provide a detailed masterplan or design codes or development briefs. Policies focus solely on Design and Access Statement requirements. Policy hooks for specific design tools and documents are important for effectiveness and clarity for communities,
developers and decision-takers about design process expected from CDC.
