There are significant errors with pages 96-97 of this document not least the incorrectly coloured map which shows HBO0003 as discounted when it has been identified as developable in the HELAA. This and other incorrect data have been carried forward elswhere and led to the incorrect (unsound) singular allocation to Highgrove which should have been spolit over the two sites.

Our response:

It is acknowledged that the Bosham HELAA map incorrectly shows HBO0003 as being discounted. However, this has not affected the assessment.

Representation Summary:

The SA's that have been undertaken appear to be have been done to fit the proposed site allocations not vice versa. Sites that seem to have a better sustainability appraisal seem to have been ignored/modified/rejected for no apparent reasons or wighting has not been given to sustainable items such as distance fromt transport hubs and ability and proposensity to offset/mitigate environmental factors have been ignored. I refer specifically to the HIghGrove and French Gardens sites in the Bosham section.

Our response:

A Sustainability Appraisal has been undertaken at all stages of the Local Plan preparation. However, the outcome of the SA is only one of a number of factors that needs to be weighed up in determining whether a site is suitable for allocation.
