Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 4550

Received: 16/03/2023

Respondent: Chichester Harbour Conservancy

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

The 25 metres rule is likely inadequate. I don't know if this is based on the advice from Natural England, however with sea level rise and increased storminess with climate change, the future rate of erosion will be greater than 0.1m per year. The minimum should be 50m, with a policy preference for 100m. I suspect someone has underestimated the future rate of erosion.

Change suggested by respondent:

Change to 50m.

Representation Summary:

Support SOSCA's objection: In Para 4.75 you state that the Council will require new buildings to be set back from the shore line by 25 metres. This will not be sufficient to safeguard life nor structure from the growing strength of our storms and sea level rise.
