Policy S1 Spatial Development Strategy

Representation ID: 3890

Received: 06/03/2023

Respondent: Westhampnett Parish Council

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

Westhampnett Parish Council question whether the plan is procedurally sound; there is a need to return to the Regulation 18 stage.

On that basis, we have the right to make representation in person to the individual appointed as the planning inspector.

Change suggested by respondent:

Plan for a range of new housing that meets the needs of local people, that does not overburden any one place, including taking into account changing requirements at different stages of life, affordable housing and specialist accommodation; helping young people and families to stay in the area;

Plan to provide local infrastructure to support new development before approving such, and seek opportunities to address existing infrastructure problems, such as those relating to the A27 and wastewater treatment;

Westhampnett Parish Council would like to point out that the current local plan was adopted in July 2015, and under Regulation 18 of the Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) Regulations 2012 various bodies and stakeholders were notified in June 2017 that the council was preparing a plan, and invited to comment about what that plan ought to contain: consultation on the preferred approach closed in February 2019.

Since that time, there has been a marked shift in local authority obligations on housing requirements; feedback received on the Regulation 18 consultation is outdated, and we would question whether the plan is procedurally sound; there is a need to return to the Regulation 18 stage.

On that basis, we have the right to make representation in person to the individual appointed as the planning inspector.


Our response:

There is considerable flexibility open to LPAs in how the initial stages of local plan production are carried out and there is no requirement to have a further Regulation 18 consultation.

There has been no change in how the LHN is calculated since the publication of the Preferred Approach as the HEDNA (2018) used the Government’s standard method approach, which was emerging at that time. As set out in the NPPF, this remains the methodology to be used in calculating the LHN.

The Local Plan seeks to address the issues raised by the respondent. In respect of the timing of infrastructure, this will be agreed with the relevant infrastructure provider but there may be instances where infrastructure requirements will only become necessary on completion of a certain amount of development.

Our response:

There is considerable flexibility open to LPAs in how the initial stages of local plan production are carried out and there is no requirement to have a further Regulation 18 consultation.

Policy I1 requires infrastructure and its timing to be secured by way of condition or legal requirement. It is those conditions or legal agreements that will set out the detailed phasing and housing triggers.

It would not be practical to prevent all development from being provided until all accompanying infrastructure is completed as that would not be economically viable.

The proposed modifications to Policy T1 Transport Infrastructure set out the council’s approach to securing transport mitigation to support the planned growth.

Our response:

The Local Plan seeks to address the issues raised by the respondent. In respect of this proposed allocation the development will provide affordable housing in accordance with Policy H4 and specialist accommodation (for older persons, self build and Gypsy and Travellers).

In response to representations from the Environment Agency (4880) and Southern Water (4485) an additional criterion is proposed relating to the availability of sufficient waste water capacity
