Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 4964

Received: 17/03/2023

Respondent: Kingsbridge Estates Limited & Landlink Estates Limited

Agent: Savills

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

Soundness test not fully met. The draft plan does not adequately allow for suppressed demand. Consequently, the option for HDA associated uses to locate on industrial land is restricted. However, our analysis concludes that most such uses are best located on the HDAs. Which requires a more flexible approach to functionally linked uses on the HDAs.

Change suggested by respondent:

Reference to ‘ancillary’ with regard to the HDAs in relevant policies and supporting text should be modified to 'functionally linked' and include explanatory text clarifying that 'functionally linked' uses can include a range of activities including: food-related distribution; food manufacturing linked to the HDAs food preparation; on-site renewable energy to serve on-site activities; and R&D.
