Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Objection grounds similar to those for A11, including:

i) non-compliance with NE16 due to insufficient wastewater treatment capacity for housing proposed, and adverse impact on water quality of Chichester Harbour; no guarantee or timetabled plan for upgrades;

ii) lack of road network capacity (esp. Fishbourne roundabout), associated impacts on congestion and air quality, and no guaranteed major improvements;

iii) lack of primary education capacity; schools inaccessible via walking/public transport;

iv) inappropriate proposed community facilities and inadequate existing rural amenities;

v) significant public and local opposition to proposal.

The issues raised have been considered and the evidence base and proposed development strategy continues to support this strategic allocation. See also response to rep 3928

Use of ‘essential’ within wording of 4.29 implies demonstration of nutrient neutrality is a mandatory not optional requirement.

At the present time nutrient neutrality is mandatory in relevant areas as set out in policy NE19.

A nutrient mitigation plan will need to be agreed in line with requirements. This is usually done through the planning application process as the mitigation available will evolve over the plan period.

The change sought is not a change to this policy.
