Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

The policy relating to city centre housing density of at least 35dph was not considered to be particularly helpful, as it is arbitrary and, in practice, density depends very much on site constraints and surrounding context.

The policy relating to Chichester city centre was generally supported as relevant and positive.

There was significant concern about reduction of town centre parking provision. Concerns were that this may affect the vitality and viability of the city centre and that any parking changes may disproportionately affect older and less mobile residents as well those encumbered by purchases all of whom rely on close and convenient access to parking.

It was suggested that park and ride should be looked into, although it was noted that it had been investigated as part of the District Council's background documents. It was also noted that any changes to parking provision or restrictions should tie in with the road space audit.
