Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission
Policy A11 Highgrove Farm, Bosham
Representation ID: 5683

Supports the principle of the allocation, but requests further consideration of the following requirements:
- older persons accommodation
- allocation of gypsy and traveller pitches
[see attached representation for further information]
The policy should be more flexibly worded to allow for all forms of elderly care to be delivered and reflect the proposals in the live application before the Council.
With regards to gypsy and traveller pitches, we consider it would not be appropriate to include such provision until further evidence has been provided on suitability of the approach, need in this specific location and suitability as part of housing allocation of this scale, with a single point of access. On the basis of the above, we object to the requirement in the allocation for 3 gypsy and traveller plots.
1 Henry Adams LLP act on behalf of Barratt David Wilson (Client) in respect of Land at
Maudlin Farm (the Site). These representations respond to the Regulation 19 Consultation version of the Chichester Local Plan 2021-2039 (Feb 2023), which identifies the site as a Strategic Development allocation through Policy A11 Highgrove Farm, Bosham.
1.2 In this context, our response is focused on the following matters;
The development strategy, settlement hierarchy and distribution of development,
The overall amount of new housing required within the new plan period, and
The strategic allocation proposed at Bosham in Policy A11.
1.3 The Site is subject of a live application which was submitted over 2 years to the Council, following publication of an Interim Housing Statement, which encouraged applications on suitably located sites, including those comprising draft allocations. The Council are yet to determine this application. This submission is accompanied by the design and access statement (Appendix 1) submitted with the live application for the site which focuses on the site opportunities and constraints alongside the design considerations.
In summary, the Client supports the allocation of Highgrove Farm, Bosham for residential
development. The technical work and accompanying design and access statement demonstrate that the site is capable of delivering 300 dwellings during the course of the plan period.
6.2 The Client would however request that amendments be made to the wording of the policy to allow for a level of flexibility so that any future development can be aligned with what is appropriate to deliver to meet local needs.

BDW object to the Strategic Wildlife Corridor (SWC) locations for the following reasons:
- The Council has not published its evidence base in the Reg 19 consultation for applying this new constraint layer;
- The current use of the corridors is not stated, no considered sustainability of future development potential;
- Blanket policy designations are not required
- Locations adjacent to existing settlements appear unjustified and inappropriate in current form.

Wording of criteria 7. (use of permeable materials) is inconsistent with the drainage hierarchy as set out in national Planning Practice Guidance (PPG). Accordingly the policy is unreasonably restrictive.
[see attached representation for further information]
It is recommended that this be addressed with an amendment to follow the recommendations of the PPG.

The wording of criterion 7 is inconsistent with the drainage hierarchy set out in national Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) paragraph 056. Policy is unreasonably restrictive and fails to recognise the guidance which allows for a hierarchy of options for the management of surface water drainage. The reason being is that it will not be possible to achieve infiltration drainage solutions on all sites, which Policy P5 would currently require. It is recommended that this be addressed with an amendment to follow the recommendations of the PPG.
Amend P5 to follow recommendations of PPG.

Consider Plan area capable of accommodating greater housing quantum. Council have failed to provide sufficient justification for not meeting its housing need in full and have not suitably considered unmet need from adjoining authorities. Evidence base (Transport Study 2023) contradicts Council's position. Council should consider allocation of additional housing sites to meet full or higher housing provision within plan area. Land at Stubcroft Farm, East Wittering promoted.

Policy sets out support for new employment development and sets out criteria for expansion of existing employment sites and for new sites. Policy sets out that new provision will be allowed for in existing settlements but it is silent in relation to new build development outside of settlement boundary.
Reference made in policy wording for sequential test to be followed. However, should be explicit in saying that development outside settlement boundaries would be supported, subject to sequential test being completed and suitable scale and form responding to edge of settlement character.

Paragraphs 2.43 – 2.45 of the draft Plan set out the reasoning, which relates to the need to protect the semi-rural nature of ‘some’ settlements and in recognition of the important wildlife habitats such as Pagham Harbour and Medmerry. These highlighted areas are subject to international wildlife designations and are very different to say our clients land at Stubcroft Farm, which has
no heightened landscape or wildlife designations. On the contrary, land at Stubcroft Farm comprises relatively ordinary open arable land, which is intensively farmed. It is not extraordinary in any form and a blanket approach suggested by the Council, highlighting landscapes or habitats of national or international importance is not reflective of the entirety of the Manhood Peninsula.
This should not be taken as a reason for not allowing further development, which is suitably located, on the Manhood Peninsula.

Object to policy requirement for schemes exceeding 200 homes on grounds that proposed allocations would not accommodate overall need; no clear quantifiable policy requirement to deliver need; plots available in other areas that have not been taken up for allocation (HBI0028); absence of information regarding requirements for pitch provision and site specific needs; no evidence on engagement with gypsy traveller community regarding desire to be located on suburban residential sites (contradicts typical locations on rural sites/periphery of rural settlements); specific access for larger HGVs for static homes and touring caravans makes it difficult to design suitable access within residential housing estate - no consideration given to how this can be accommodated.

Policy sets out onerous restriction on water use per person per household per day. Potentially achievable, however, it is restrictive and not attractive to future residents. Accordingly, its introduction without flexibility, may limit desirability of future properties. Policy should therefore allow housebuilder flexibility to allow high water usage, set against greater off-site water saving measures. Knock on effect could be an increase in housing values for existing stock not subject to restrictive water use. Also consider there to be a need for a strategic mitigation to be provided alongside the Plan. At present, there is no evidence of this being prepared.
