Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 3817

Received: 22/02/2023

Respondent: The Bosham Association

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

Whilst the wildlife corridors receive a set of maps with outlines of their modest proportions, ‘stepping stones’ are neither defined, nor delimited spatially. It appears therefore as a piece of rhetorical padding.
Building on farmland is not going to produce a measurable net gain in biodiversity. In the site proposed at A11 there are mature hedgerows which will be disturbed.

Change suggested by respondent:

The wildlife corridor stepping-stones referred to need to be defined clearly so that the public knows what this means.
Policy A11 Highgrove needs to be removed from the local plan
