Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 4641

Received: 16/03/2023

Respondent: Mr Allen McDonald

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

Government policy is clear that pitches only need to be provided for Gypsies and Travellers that meet
the PPTS 2015 definition. CDC appear to have gone beyond the PPTRS requirements in seeking to provide accommodation for full cultural need (Sustainability Assessment appendix 3) a term that through its ambiguity will result in excess provision and in inappropriate locations.. The plan therefore provides provision in excess of actual defined need.

Change suggested by respondent:

Provision should be made on the basis of PPTS 2015 and not the wider cultural need.
