Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 849

Received: 02/02/2019

Respondent: Mr Timothy Firmston

Representation Summary:

The number of dwellings identified for Birdham parish is too high for the current infrastructure and road network and well beyond the current requirement of 50 dwellings. This figure has been met and/or is in the process of being built. Some mitigation is required given that half the parish lies within the AONB.

The wish of the South Downs National Park for 41 dwellings to be provided within the Chichester plan must be refused. Building within the National Park, given the number of towns and villages within, need to be undertaken to maintain the viability and prosperity of the Park.
