We wish to raise our OBJECTION to the Local Plan under consultation at this present time.
The Plan is fundamentally flawed. To be able to comment and analyse the plan correctly, there is one glaring fault which makes the plan invalidate. The transport model used for the plan is the Peter Brett Assoc report of 2010. This PBA consultation has been proved to be incorrect when issued and has not been changed so it is now incorrect and woefully outdated. You cannot produce a plan that has no up to date valid transport infrastructure/data included in it.
Furthermore, you have included a link road and development in AL6 Apuldram/Donnington which cannot be included as there is no funding for it or the upgrade of junctions that would be required at Fishbourne roundabout and there is no evidence that the correct and proper consultation with Highways England has taken place.
For a Local Plan to exclude all development however small in the North of the city is an unfair and makes the rest of the plan a nonsense and smacks of undue influence from certain quarters. To state that the SDNP means that no development can take place because of its special status is absurd. Chichester Harbour has the same protected status as an AONB, SSI, SAR etc and yet you are happy to include plans to concrete within 100mtrs of it. The SDNP is at least 1km from any area that was identified in previous drafts of this report and then mysteriously removed !!
This Local plan is full of inconsistencies and contradictions, with very little details on how mitigation would take place for these vast developments planned along with very vague lip service to how the infrastructure of Schools, doctors and other such services are going to be implemented or funded, or if in many cases like Graylingwell, who were promised a school, put in at planning and then ignored.
Therefore we wish to OBJECT to the plan and will seeking to raise our concerns with the examiner at the appropriate time if these failings are not addressed
