Sustainability Appraisal and Habitats Regulation Assessment

Sustainability Appraisal - January 2023

Representation ID: 5126

Received: 16/03/2023

Respondent: Levanter Developments Limited

Representation Summary:

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.

Full text:

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.
