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 wording of Policy S3

The proposed policy wording is not positively prepared, consistent with national policy nor will it be effective in delivering the District's full local housing need in sustainable locations, such as the Settlement Hubs and Service Villages.

Promoting site Land on Cooks Lane 2.

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.

We agree that Fishbourne is properly classified as a service village in the hierarchy ranking 9th in terms of population with 10 total facilities.

Out of the total 12,350 dwellings, 4,400 or 35% are proposed as new strategic allocations. Given this significant reliance on large sites and the potential longer lead in times for housing delivery we therefore suggest the plan includes a trajectory for them especially as this would better comply with Paragraph 73 of the NPPF2.

We are concerned that Fishbourne has been given a nil allocation in S5 and instead the total 250 dwelling allocation has been included in policy AL9 as a parish strategic allocation. We believe that as Fishbourne parish is preparing its own Neighbourhood Plan, it should be given the flexibility to choose how it allocates sites for development. In our view, a nil allocation in S5 could be interpreted to mean all 250 houses have to be found on 1 single site rather than on several smaller sites as part of a dispersed strategy.

The Local Plan Policy or the IDP itself should make clear, for at least the first five years, what infrastructure is required, who is going to fund and provide it, and how it relates to the anticipated rate and phasing of development. This is not set out in either S12 or the IDP (paragraph 15.9) which specifically deals with the Fishbourne allocation. Paragraph 15.9 of the IDP should in addition state that 'the parish is allocated for residential development of 250 dwellings' rather than 'the site is...' in recognition that more than 1 location should be selected for the allocation.

Promoted site at Fishbourne - Land to the rear of 98 Fishbourne Road .

We prefer the principle of having more than one site meet the strategic allocation as part of a dispersed strategy across the District. Spreading development over more than 1 site would assist short term housing delivery and minimise the long lead in times that the very large strategic sites are suffering in the current Key Policies Local Plan.

We propose a settlement boundary amendment for Fishbourne to include land to the rear of 98 Fishbourne Road. If boundary reviews of all settlements are not to be made in the Plan we request policy wording to the last sentence of S24 be amended.
