Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Policy A13 Southbourne Broad Location for Development

Representation ID: 5948

Received: 15/03/2023

Respondent: The Chichester Society

Legally compliant? Not specified

Sound? Not specified

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

Southbourne development: if 1,000+ new homes are to be developed on farmland around Southbourne, it is important to safeguard the character of this community and adjoining villages along the A259.

Change suggested by respondent:

As well as defining the strategic gaps on either side of the expanded settlement, the Plan should include a new interchange with the A27 at Southbourne. The Society believes it is reasonable to ensure that traffic from new Southbourne housing is directed to the A27, and not the A259.

Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Policy T1: Transport Infrastructure

Representation ID: 5949

Received: 15/03/2023

Respondent: The Chichester Society

Legally compliant? Not specified

Sound? Not specified

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

Public transport: Developments along the East-West Corridor should have good linear transport options with easy links to the primary road network, frequent bus services and rail stations. These are all available west of Chichester if a Southbourne road link is created onto the A27.

East of Chichester there will be a good direct link to the grade separated interchange at the A27/A285 west of Tangmere. However, there are no rail stations. The only frequent bus service runs to Tangmere with an irregular service to Arundel via Oving and Barnham. The sporadic new developments around Barnham seem only linked by bus to Bognor.

There seems no evidence of the Duty to Co-operate between Chichester and Arun District Councils. And none of the recent greenfield developments in either district have been accompanied by new or improved bus services.

Change suggested by respondent:

What is needed are: (1) a fast and frequent bus service between Chichester and Barnham station, via a new bus link from Tangmere to the B2233, and (2) extending the 55 service from Tangmere as a circular route back to the city via Shopwyke Lakes and the proposed East of Chichester SDL.

Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Policy A2 Chichester City – Strategic housing location

Representation ID: 5951

Received: 15/03/2023

Respondent: The Chichester Society

Legally compliant? Not specified

Sound? Not specified

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

The Society wishes to encourage a higher density where new residential development takes place close to the city centre such as the Southern Gateway regeneration project.

Change suggested by respondent:

In Chapter 10, Policy A2 Chichester City — Strategic housing location, we suggest adding 'high density' so it reads 'to provide for a high quality, high density form of development...'

The Society recommends we add the following policy to A2 : 'Proactively encourage the relocation of unneighbourly uses to the periphery of the city close to the A27 to free up sustainable sites for housing development within walking distance of the city centre (e.g. within the western part of Quarry Lane industrial estate.. l). The Local Plan should state the importance of developing high-density housing on brownfield sites within walking distance of the city centre.
