Respondent: The Goodwood Estates Company Limited

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

A separate paragraph to 2.13 explaining the role of the visitor economy is justified because of its importance. The importance of the Festival Theatre is acknowledged but its contribution to the local economy is a poor shadow of the contribution made annually by the Goodwood Estate, its environment, heritage and events (up to ten times that of the theatre) see submitted LSE report

Change suggested by respondent:

The paragraph should be amended to include references to equally important contributors to the local economy such as Goodwood Estate and Rolls-Royce alongside the Festival Theatre

Our response:

The reasoned justification to Policies A16 (Goodwood Motor Circuit and Airfield), which the Council propose should be modified in response to a separate representation from the respondent, and A21 (land east of Rolls Royce) both clearly set out the contribution that each make to the local economy.

Our response:

The changes proposed do not relate to this paragraph (objections have also been recorded against the relevant policies).

1.National policies are referred to throughout the plan but as set out in response to rep 6272 a table will be added to the Plan to link policies and objectives.

2.Sufficient evidence is already required with planning applications to assess policy compliance. The local list sets out the information needed for all applications and will be updated to reflect any new requirements when the plan is adopted.

Representation Summary:

Recent history suggests new developments have been site-centric providing ‘lip-service’ to wider economic, social and environmental needs. Policies applicable to allocations or general developments should specify the minimum standard each should meet in terms of Plan objectives and developers required to provide demonstrable evidence in support.

Change suggested by respondent:

The plan should explain how it will ensure new development takes account of the listed issues.

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

Objectives are supported but detail of how this is to be achieved must be set out.

What is the precise meaning and expectations of “….carefully managed by maintaining and enhancing the countryside between settlements.” What does this actually mean? Does this mean no development, countryside protected for its own sake, protected local countryside gaps, limited appropriate development, limited development in identified locations?

Change suggested by respondent:

While policies and proposals elsewhere in the local plan might make appropriate provision for this objective, this introductory paragraph should indicate generally the development expectations within the area between the National Park and the Harbour AONB, including the locally strategic growth areas.

More detail is set out in Policy NE3 and supporting text.

Respondent: The Goodwood Estates Company Limited

Agent: HMPC Ltd

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

New development in accessible locations is supported but the definition of accessibility should be examined in detail and explained through the plan, with reference to development locations.

Convenient walking and cycling routes and availability of public transport should be more than a measurable distance, to include an assessment of the practicality and suitability of the routes as an alternative to use of the private car.

Change suggested by respondent:

A requirement for developers to present demonstrable evidence as to the practicality and suitability of the routes and modes of transport to and from their site as an alternative to use of the private car.

Convenient walking and cycling routes and availability of public transport should be more than a measurable distance, to include an assessment of the practicality and suitability of the routes as an alternative to use of the private car.


Our response:

The suggested change is too detailed for this Strategic level Objective which already refers to reducing reliance on private cars.

Policy T1 sets out detailed requirements for developers to evidence how their scheme will avoid or reduce the need to travel by private car, enable access to sustainable means of travel, manage travel demand and mitigate impacts of travel by car. Policy T2 contains further detail on how this should be done. Policy P4 also covers relevant design aspects.

Representation Summary:

The plan should identify key areas where these benefits will be sought. The objective should go beyond wildlife corridors.

Our response:

The wording is not limited to strategic wildlife corridors which are given as an example.

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

The Plan must be prepared to take on the bland and monotonous approach of volume house builders, claiming high design qualities, sustainable standards and accessible neighbourhoods. It does not do so.

Change suggested by respondent:

The Plan must require minimum standards and evidence of compliance with local objectives, set out clearly and enforceable through the Plan. Preference must be given to smaller developers providing quality housing to local, rather than generic, demand. The plan must have strong policies for areas not suited to housing development to minimise the risk of speculative development.

The Plan must be prepared to take on the bland and monotonous approach of volume house builders, claiming high design qualities, sustainable standards and accessible neighbourhoods. It does not do so.


Our response:

The Objective is to ensure such high standards of design. Design Standards are set out in Policies P1 to P8.
