Our response:

The council recognises WSCC view that a school is no longer needed at Graylingwell and notes that the s106 safeguarding land for a school use , which was associated with wider permissions for the Graylingwell area, expired several years ago.

In Policy H2 Chichester City has been allocated a figure of 270 homes to be delivered through preparation of a neighbourhood plan. Delivery of additional housing on this site can be considered as part of that process or through a planning application - it does not need to be identified in Policy H3.
