Chichester Local Plan 2021 - 2039: Proposed Submission

Objective 4: Employment and Economy

Representation ID: 4795

Received: 17/03/2023

Respondent: West Sussex Growers' Association

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

The Government has tasked Growers to grow more home grown produce, increase productivity, reduce food miles and the UK’s reliance on imported food. There is also an increasing need for space to grow plants, shrubs and trees. These aims can be achieved; however, the Horticultural and Food Industries need Local Planning Policies to be in place that enables sustainable development. To this end, more flexibility is needed in the current CDC Local Plan - Horticultural Policy to meet the needs of the Horticultural sector.

Change suggested by respondent:

Over the coming years, more provision of space for nurseries, high-tech glasshouses, packhouses and reservoirs will be required; however, there will also be an increased need for ancillary development, such as: Vertical Farming Projects, Research & Development Facilities, Alternative Energy Centres, Logistics and Distribution Centres, Engineering and Technical Support Facilities.

The West Sussex Coastal Plain, with its exceptionally high winter light levels and all year round beneficial climate, is the preferred location for horticultural production in the UK.

The Horticultural Industry, concentrated around Chichester and Bognor Regis, generates annual turnover that exceeds £1billion pounds and employs more than 10,000 full time equivalent staff.

Our response:

Policy E4 makes provision for new horticultural and ancillary development which is defined at paragraph 7.29 as other processes directly related to the production of horticultural products. However, as a result of representations received from the horticulture industry, it is proposed that “functionally-linked” replaces “ancillary” as a description for those activities associated with horticultural development
