Given that the highways and transport evidence indicates that 700dpa could be supported in the southern plan area, it is imperative that the SA higher housing growth scenarios including meeting the minimum LHN figure (minus the 70dpa being delivered by the SDNPA) – 694dpa – in full.
The continued suppression of the housing requirement through the Plan is not justified and, accordingly, is inconsistent paragraph 35b of the Framework.
In order to address this soundness issue, the following amendments are required:
i. The introductory text and the first line within the table under Policy H1 to identify a minimum housing requirement of 12,492 dwellings
ii. Additional site allocations identified to meet the housing requirement.
In accordance with paragraph 105 of the Framework, the site selection process should seek to focus new
allocations at the most sustainable locations within Chichester District in accordance with the spatial strategy identified at Policy SP1.
Please see attached representations.
The justification for not meeting the housing needs in full is set out in the Housing Need and Transport Background Papers. The latest Duty to Cooperate evidence is set out in the updated Statement of Compliance.
Promotion of alternative sites noted.
The housing distribution and allocations have sought to focus on the most sustainable locations. This is set out in the Sustainability Appraisal and Housing Distribution Background Paper.

Objects to the presumption against development within the 400m buffer
Amend to: Where noise-sensitive development is proposed in the vicinity of Goodwood Motor Circuit and Airfield, planning
permission will only be granted where the noise impact assessment clearly shows that:
1. An acceptable level of amenity, by reason of expected experienced noise and disturbance, will be provided
for the future occupiers of the noise-sensitive development within both internal and external areas of the
development; and
2. the development will not compromise the safe and continued operation of Goodwood Circuit and Airfield in
accordance with the ‘agent of change’ principle outlined in the National Planning Policy Framework. In
considering the above, the council shall assess any cumulative impact of relevant noise sources, such as but not
necessarily limited to, road traffic, motor circuit, airfield and any other neighbouring activities that has the
potential to give rise to an adverse noise impact. Consideration shall be given to site specifics and to any
particular characteristic of identified noise sources,
Please see attached representations.
As set out in paragraph 10.75 it is considered that the 400m buffer should be retained. This is not a fixed boundary as the policy sets out criteria for assessing development within this area

The Chichester city settlement boundary as proposed is not justified, having regard to the Council’s own evidence base, excluding the approved playing pitches associated with the approved residential developments of Land south of Madgwick Lane and Land north of Graylingwell Park, and the approved residential development of Land north of Madgwick Lane (all within the Westhampnett / North East Chichester SDL).
Therefore, the approach taken by the Plan towards defining Chichester’s settlement boundary is not justified and is, therefore, inconsistent with paragraph 35b of the Framework.
To rectify this soundness issue and ensure that the methodology in the Council’s Background Paper is applied
properly, logically and consistently, the approved playing pitches and the approved residential development at
Land north of Madgwick Lane should be included within Chichester city’s settlement boundary through a Main
Modification to the Plan.
Please see attached representations.
The Settlement Boundaries Review was carried out in 2018 to support the Regulation 18 stage of the Local Plan Review with representations received at that consultation informing the Regulation 19 version. Representations at this stage must be confined to whether the policy meets the soundness test. A further Settlement Boundaries Review will be undertaken following adoption of the Local Plan.
