Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Representation ID: 4735

Received: 17/03/2023

Respondent: The Goodwood Estates Company Limited

Agent: HMPC Ltd

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

It is important the Plan makes appropriate provision for the protection of local character and distinctiveness and this applies equally to open areas (countryside and urban fringe) as it does to the built environment. The Goodwood Estate, its conservation and operations provide land between the City edge and National Park to the north with a distinctive character, which is both recognised and should be sustained. Development proposed within the area should assess and demonstrate through evidence, how that character is to be protected and enhanced. Developments which will detract or result in significant change should be resisted.

Change suggested by respondent:

It is important the Plan makes appropriate provision for the protection of local character and distinctiveness and this applies equally to open areas (countryside and urban fringe) as it does to the built environment. This can be achieved through the identification of character areas to which overarching and specific development management policies apply.
