The Chichester city settlement boundary as proposed is not justified, having regard to the Council’s own evidence base, excluding the approved playing pitches associated with the approved residential developments of Land south of Madgwick Lane and Land north of Graylingwell Park, and the approved residential development of Land north of Madgwick Lane (all within the Westhampnett / North East Chichester SDL).
Therefore, the approach taken by the Plan towards defining Chichester’s settlement boundary is not justified and is, therefore, inconsistent with paragraph 35b of the Framework.
To rectify this soundness issue and ensure that the methodology in the Council’s Background Paper is applied
properly, logically and consistently, the approved playing pitches and the approved residential development at
Land north of Madgwick Lane should be included within Chichester city’s settlement boundary through a Main
Modification to the Plan.
