Promoting site Chichester Marina - encourage small scale leisure uses in site

Use of word 'small scale' in policy is not effective - reword policy

Marina should be considered part of Birdham service village, or it's own service village in recognition of dwellings and floorspace at the site. Opportunity to provide housing on site is important to viability of Marina's future.

Marina should be considered within a settlement boundary not countryside in recognition of number of dwellings/employment/leisure opportunities it provides.

Policy does not recognise contribution of other sites (such as marina) to jobs and homes.

Suggest policy rewording

Premier is pleased to see a recognition within the Plan for support for leisure and recreational use and waterbased activities in the coastal areas, and marine employment uses.

It is therefore essential that a policy approach considers the wider range of uses suitable for coastal locations in order to maintain, as the policy states, such sites as 'an important recreational, economic and environmental resource.'

Support policy but para 7.59 at odds - Harbour Management Plan not a DPD or a robust policy approach and should not be referenced.

Lengthy marketing periods can leave empty properties creating no employment when change of use could create employment/further benefits.

Para 7.59 should recognise relevance of complimentary uses which support viability of marinas.

Should only apply for CoU from employment-resi, otherwise too onerous/unrealistic.

2 years marketing extensive, unjustified, causes unnecessary financial burden.

Policy approach at odds with DM9 and does not recognise attraction of District is countryside/coastal setting.

Comfortable with this approach only if Marina becomes a settlement hub. Otherwise too restrictive.

Premier delivers quality devt in sensitive locations.

Policy approach should be no more onerous than NPPF.

CHi Harbour Management Plan should be amended as not statutory/consistent with NPPF.

Propose policy rewording

Para 7.127 too restrictive. Propose rewording.

..Council will permit development associated with marine employment, leisure, tourism and related uses, provided that it does not:
a. jeopardise the safety and ease of navigation on the water or have a detrimental impact on the regime of the river;
b. adversely affect nature conservation, landscape or heritage interests; or
c. cause a reduction of water quality.

If Marina not incorporated into settlement boundary this policy is too restrictive. Suggest reword policy.
