Goodwood Airfield and Motor Circuit offer a large open area close to Chichester City that is a valuable local recreation source. In line with Chapter 8 of the NPPF we request that the role of the circuit, airfield and the open space and recreation opportunities it offers is reflected in the local plan.

Chapter 6 focusses on “traditional sport, recreation and open space provision,” but other important recreation sources, equally important for place-making, health and well-being should also be acknowledged and provisioned through Chapter 6. Both aviation and motor activities are recognised as sport and recreation by Sport England and the large open areas used can, and do, offer opportunities to host a variety of non-aviation and motor community and sporting activities and access to open space and landscape, whether actual or perceived, free or controlled.
