Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 777

Received: 01/02/2019

Respondent: Mr Robert Marson

Representation Summary:

I do not understand the sense of absorbing 41 homes per annum into Chichester from the SDNP allocation. Surely the folks living within the SDNP would welcome affordable homes for their children/grandchildren and enable them to bring vitality into the villages, eg adequate schooling intake without the need for schools to remain functional by being dependant on absorbing kids from south of the SDNP boundary. I believe Chichester should not accept this allocation but with so many of the Councillors living north of the city, I really wonder how unbiased a vote would be to make this happen.
