Policy A3 Southern Gateway Development Principles
Representation ID: 6088
Received: 15/03/2023
Respondent: Chidham and Hambrook Parish Council
Support in principle
This is an opportunity to provide much needed sustainable, affordable housing, which would attract younger people to make their homes in the city. There is too much emphasis on retail, café and restaurant use which could be in danger of becoming a white elephant like Chichester Gate. 170 homes on two sites is profoundly unambitious. Creative master planning is needed to take advantage of the space in building a significant number of affordable homes sustainably located without the need for car ownership. Retail uses should be directed to the city and not take the place of housing.
Support noted.

Policy P3 Density
Representation ID: 6089
Received: 15/03/2023
Respondent: Chidham and Hambrook Parish Council
Support in principle
It should be specifically stated that wildlife and biodiversity needs to be taken into account.
The optimum density of development should take account of areas. For example rural areas should not be suitable for developments with a density of 35 houses per hectare.

10,350 houses with the majority in the East/ West corridor will not improve access to green infrastructure as there will be less of it. The location of most of the housing will increase use of cars which will decrease air quality

Policy I1 Infrastructure Provision
Representation ID: 6091
Received: 15/03/2023
Respondent: Chidham and Hambrook Parish Council
Support in principle
This needs to be more robust to ensure that there is timely provision.
The demand for housing being imposed on the district requires adequate infrastructure, particularly in relation to roads and wastewater treatment, to be in place and not be lacking when new homes are ready for occupation.
iv. With the acceleration of climate change we have to consider whether we are providing future proofing as the flood risk is an increasing concern.

Policy NE5 Biodiversity and Biodiversity Net Gain
Representation ID: 6301

Respondent: Chidham and Hambrook Parish Council

Concerns about the appropriateness of off-site mitigation and biodiversity credits, along with the scope for compensation to adequately address detrimental impacts on biodiversity.
Offsite provision and biodiversity credits should be resisted as it will not result in any biodiversity gain for the development site and could lead to a significant loss.
a. Where an adverse impact on biodiversity is unavoidable, and no other option is available, this will only be supported where it has been demonstrated that the impact has been minimised as far as possible and, as a last resort, appropriate compensation provided for any remaining adverse impacts;
There can be no compensation for any adverse impact on biodiversity. If that is the case planning permission should be refused at the outset.

There can be no compensation for any adverse impact on biodiversity. If that is the case planning permission should be refused at the outset.
Concerns noted. The use of off-site mitigation and biodiversity credits in relation to biodiversity net gain is established by the soon to be statutory national process and hence these methods need to be maintained as options. The Biodiversity Metric calculations reflect that on-site mitigation is the preferred approach, however, and this is reiterated within Policy NE5. Furthermore, Policy NE5 confirms the minimum of 10% BNG is required to be in addition to measures or obligations to mitigate or compensate for biodiversity impacts in accordance with the mitigation hierarchy.

Assessment of amenity in any development clearly requires a great deal of attention during the pre-application process.
Parish Councils and local residents should be consulted on the detail at this stage.
Assessment of amenity in any development clearly requires a great deal of attention during the pre-application process and Parish Councils and local residents should be consulted on the detail at this stage.
Proposed change noted. As per our Statement of Community Involvement, CDC strongly recommends developers undertake pre-application consultation with local residents and other consultees, especially for larger schemes. It is not considered, however, that pre-application consultation of this nature is justified for all development and is therefore not required by the policy

The statistical base used for the number of cars used by homeowners is almost certainly inaccurate as the amount of parking needs to be sufficient to cater for households where there are two or more working family members.

Objection noted. The extent and adequacy of car parking provision is subject of Policy T4 and informed by West Sussex Parking Standards. As no changes to Policy T4 or its supporting text are proposed, no further action is recommended
