Sustainability Appraisal and Habitats Regulation Assessment
Sustainability Appraisal - January 2023
Representation ID: 5126
Received: 16/03/2023
Respondent: Levanter Developments Limited
It is not considered that the council has given full consideration to all potential environmental effects nor are the conclusions of the SA in respect of those impacts robust and logical.
It is not considered that the SA has considered adequate reasonable alternatives to growth at Southbourne which would include allocation of sites elsewhere in the village including within the AONB that can deliver in the early part of the plan period.
I write in response to the regulation 19 consultation version of the Chichester Local Plan 2021-2039 in our capacity as promoters of Ansells Yard, Kirdford Road, Wisborough Green.
Conclusions
There are several concerns on the soundness of the plan in terms of whether it is effective, justified, positively prepared or consistent with national policy in accordance with paragraph 35 of the NPPF.
It is not considered that the Council has justified the extent of the under supply of housing against the established housing need. There are significant concerns over the delivery of housing from the strategic allocations within the unjustified timescales as set out within the trajectory contained in the plan.
Levanter will continue to make further representations on the deliverability of the site as part of the plan making progress.
A housing requirement figure significantly above the LHN has previously been considered (as set out in the SA report published at the time of the Preferred Approach Local Plan) but it was concluded that there would be significant negative effects.
