Respondent: Chichester Harbour Trust
Chichester Harbour provides a significant economic benefit to the district's economy. Although dated now (2009, UE Associates) the Valuing Chichester Harbour study found that there were 455 businesses in the Harbour, and that the contribution to the local economy was £2.78 billion.
This cumulative figure is made up of individual valuation information from maritime businesses (£524M), residential property (£2,151M), tourism (£44M), land values (£52M) and recreation (£1.2M). This document is available on Chichester District Council's website: https://www.chichester.gov.uk/media/7890/Valuing-Chichester-Harbour-2009---Part--1/pdf/Valuing_chichester_harbour_part_1.pdf

A separate paragraph to 2.13 explaining the role of the visitor economy is justified because of its importance. The importance of the Festival Theatre is acknowledged but its contribution to the local economy is a poor shadow of the contribution made annually by the Goodwood Estate, its environment, heritage and events (up to ten times that of the theatre) see submitted LSE report
The paragraph should be amended to include references to equally important contributors to the local economy such as Goodwood Estate and Rolls-Royce alongside the Festival Theatre
