Support – with qualification
WGPC agree that Chichester District requires an effective adopted Local Plan to protect the district, and especially villages, from speculative development. However, WGPC has concerns about the methodology for the housing allocation.
Wisborough Green cannot take further (significant in percentage terms) housing allocation without a detrimental impact on its rural and historic character - contrary to Local Plan objectives.

A reviewed Neighbourhood Plan has been prepared for Wisborough Green. In Autumn 2018, CDC advised that the Regulation 14 consultation for a revised NP must be started by January 2020 if the village was to allocate sites. Despite the tight timetable for a volunteer group to complete, the process was started, substantial work completed before CDC’s subsequent delay which provided little information or support.
WG’s original housing allocation was 25, increased to 40 in November 2020, before being increased to 75 in January 2023.

The support and sharing of evidence and information is essential, though has been sadly lacking on CDC’s part during the past 3 years, in stark comparison to the good level when the WGNP was first prepared.

WGPC’s Reg 14 consultation was completed in May 2021, the process was then paused by CDC; it was not until January 2023 that CDC advised that WG’s housing allocation had increased to 75.
The NP process will be resumed when the Local Plan has been through examination.

It is woeful that strategic policy ‘Statements of Common Ground’ were not agreed prior to the preparation.
There are statements within the evidence base pertaining to infrastructure and future delivery that do not reflect concerns at the current local situation, and the stresses that are already apparent. WGPC and the other northern parishes concerns are not being taken seriously by CDC.

CDC’s own Landscape Capacity Study in the evidence base demonstrates the rural nature of this area.

WGPC lack confidence that neither CDC nor other strategic policy makers and providers are aware of the problems that already exist in the NE parishes. Failure to address these will have serious implications for existing residents.
