Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

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shift in local authority obligations on housing requirements; feedback received on the Regulation 18 consultation is outdated, and we would question whether the plan is procedurally sound; there is a need to return to the Regulation 18 stage.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