Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission
Policy NE16 Water Management and Water Quality
Representation ID: 4933
Received: 17/03/2023
Respondent: Chichester Harbour Conservancy
This seems a sensible stance. My only comment is the Council seems to be defining what constitutes a major development in the policy wording. Are you sure that's what you want to do?

Support noted.
Major and minor development have standard meanings in planning. Major development is defined in the Town and County Planning (Development Management Procedure ) (England) Order 2015. Anything smaller is minor development.

The "agreed mitigation measures" must be in the context of Chichester Harbour. It is no good permitting a development with the mitigation substantially off-site. I think this has to be clear in the policy.
Expand the wording.

To be considered nutrient neutral the mitigation has to be in the same catchment.

Factual correction. Dark Sky Discovery Sites are not 'designations'. The correct wording would be: "The plan area includes three 'Dark Sky Discovery Sites', all defined within the Chichester Harbour AONB..."

Policy T3 Active Travel - Walking and Cycling Provision
Representation ID: 4947
Received: 17/03/2023
Respondent: Chichester Harbour Conservancy
Chichester Harbour Conservancy would like to open-up more farmland, along the agricultural fringe, for walking and cycling. Perhaps that should be reflected in the policy?

Chichester Harbour Conservancy is seriously concerned about this allocation. The NPPF states "The scale and extent of development within all these designated areas should be limited, while development within their setting should be sensitively located and designed to avoid or minimise adverse impacts on the designated areas." To further urbanise the boundary would have a disastrous impact on the AONB designation, with clear visibility from the AONB boundary. If this development goes ahead, it will question the fundamental principle of a 'protected' landscape, and open the doors to the further degradation of the AONB boundary.
Delete A11 and create a Wildlife Corridor instead.

Comment noted. There is a lack of justification and evidence for the creation of a strategic wildlife corridor in this area, therefore the proposal of one would not be appropriate.
Development on this site will be subject to the requirements of Policy NE13 which assesses the impacts of proposals and their cumulative effects on the AONB. Policy NE2 (Natural Landscape) will also be applicable. Criterion 5 of this policy seeks to protect the setting of the AONB.

To further urbanise the boundary would have a disastrous impact on the AONB designation. The Conservancy cannot support Policy A12 without knowing further details about the location of the development, the mitigation measures, etc. Furthermore, as with A11 and A13, the Policy may conflict with other draft Policies in the Local Plan.
Provide more detail on the allocation and the impact it may have on the AONB. Without a better understanding, the Conservancy must Object.

With the exception of the western extent of the BLD, the Landscape Capacity Study (2019) assessed the sub-areas that cover the BLD as having medium capacity for landscape change and with the potential to accommodate development.
Development within the BLD will be subject to the requirements of Policy NE2 (Natural Landscape) and the specific requirements set out in the Policy criteria particularly, in respect of the AONB, SDNP and wider landscape impacts, criterion 7.
