Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 4842

Received: 17/03/2023

Respondent: West Sussex Growers' Association

Representation Summary:

The Government has tasked Growers to grow more home grown produce, increase productivity, reduce food miles and the UK’s reliance on imported food. There is also an increasing need for space to grow plants, shrubs and trees. These aims can be achieved; however, the Horticultural and Food Industries need Local Planning Policies to be in place that enables sustainable development. To this end, more flexibility is needed in the current CDC Local Plan - Horticultural Policy to meet the needs of the Horticultural sector.

Change suggested by respondent:
