Representation ID: 4951
Received: 17/03/2023
Respondent: Kingsbridge Estates Limited & Landlink Estates Limited
Agent: Savills
Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Yes
Objection: The plan has not been positively prepared and will not meet the needs of the horticultural industry and accordingly fails to take the opportunities available to deliver economic growth and create local jobs.
The national significance of the horticultural industry is acknowledged in paragraph 2.6 of the Coastal West Sussex and Greater Brighton Local Strategic Statement for Delivering Sustainable Growth 2015-2031. Accordingly, the Chichester Local Plan will need to ensure that the competitiveness of the industry is maintained.
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.
