Interim Policy Statement for Housing Development

- Request guarantee that 628 is maximum figure per year
- Clarify whether Neighbourhood Plans at Reg 14 stage can be included
- Development should not be within areas of flooding up to 2065.
- No development to take place until SFRA completed
- support para 4.2

- support criteria 1, 2, 11 and 12.
1. Background
3. Request that a guarantee is given that 628 is the maximum figure for dwellings per annum.
Hunston Parish Council understands that only approved Neighbourhood Plans can be included. We wonder whether consideration can be given to Plans that have reached Regulation 14 status?
2. Approach to boost housing supply
2.4.1 Support prioritising delivery of known sites
3. Planning Policy context
3.1 Strongly support the need for sustainable development. This should be limited to areas that are not at risk of flooding due to rising temperatures, up to 2065. With a rise of 1.5°, the Manhood Peninsula will be under water as far north as Hunston. (https://choices.climatecentral.org/#10/50.8675/-0.5836?compare=temperatures&carbon-end-yr=2100&scenario-a=warming-4&scenario-b=warming-1.5)
Strongly support the need to protect areas or assets of particular importance, such as Pagham Harbour, Medmerry and the Chichester AONB
Recognise the need to protect Pagham Harbour and Chichester Harbour from the adverse impact of nitrate pollution
Strongly support protecting Strategic Wildlife Corridors
Would suggest that no development should take place until there is an updated Strategic Flood Risk Assessment for Chichester District
3. Local Context
4.2 This is critical, and strongly supported that development should not take place that is dependent on the delivery of significant offsite infrastructure. For example, there are no plans for the road infrastructure and all Water and Treatment Centres are at capacity. This means that no development can take place that is fully within the applicant's control.
4.7 The impact of housing development on existing villages in relation to size is supported.
6. Interim Housing Policy Statement
6.2.1 Support being in “accessible locations”
6.2.2 Support the protection of long-distance views
6.2.11 Strongly support that development should not have an impact on flooding or be at risk of flooding.
6.2.12 Strongly support that Nitrate neutrality has to be an absolute requirement
