We object to the exclusion of Hermitage as a Strategic Development Location within the table in the policy and therefore its exclusion from the list of Service Villages identified for growth.

We also object to the wording of the policy.

Consider the approach to meeting the District's local housing need and the development strategy is 'unsound'. The application of the Standard Method without sufficient adjustment to meet some of the needs of the adjoining authorities or the specific social and economic circumstances of the District increases the risk of failing to meet the full local housing need. The policy is therefore not considered to be positively prepared or consistent with national policy.

Whilst we support the draft policy objective to deliver housing, employment, retail, social and community facilities at Southbourne through the Neighbourhood Plan process, the above policy wording predetermines how the emerging Neighbourhood Plan should distribute the identified local housing need and associated development. The requirement in the above wording for development to address all 16 criteria assumes a single site will come forward, as opposed to a number of sites which collectively could meet the 16 requirements, if planned for in advance.

The Preferred Approach carries forward the Adopted Chichester Local Plan: Key Policies 2014-2029 classification for Hermitage as one of the District's Service Villages. We welcome the focus in the supporting text (ref. para 4.18) on the services villages as locations for new strategic development, as part of the Council's strategy to disperse development across the Plan area in suitable locations.

we object to the exclusion of Hermitage as a Strategic Development Location within the table in the policy and therefore its exclusion from the list of Service Villages identified for growth. Our objection is also relevant to the Settlement Hierarchy Local Plan Background Paper (December 2018) which is not considered to provide a robust evidence base to support the draft policy.

We welcome the policy objective to disperse development across the Plan area. We also support the location of non-strategic sites, community infrastructure and appropriate forms of commercial development within the Service Villages. However, we object to the following wording of Policy S3
