Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

I strongly object to the Chichester Local Plan Review 2035 as it currently stands in relation the Chidham and Hambrook on the following grounds:

1 The local plan promote the coalescence off settlements between Chichester and Emsworth which will adversely impact the special character of the villages.

2 The local plan review has failed to make a proper distribution of housing in the Parish. The so called comprehensive selection process undertaken by the planners in their strategic site allocation exercise and the subsequent approval by CDC is found to be wanting as it is based on developers estimates which have not followed the density benchmarks as per policy DM3 and has also not been modified for locations adjacent to sensitive locations. See Parish Councils response to policy S2 settlement hierarchy.

3 The infrastructure Deliver plan which supports the local plan is not fit for purpose. It does not adequately address the transportation, educational,medical and general amenity needs and timing thereof that will arise in a community which is expected to grow by 50% in the period.

4 The spatial Vision and Strategic Objectives (section 3.6 local plan) and the sustainability appraisal in relation to Chidham and `ham brook are contradictory. (see Parish Council response policy S26/DM19 natural environment). If the latter prevails we will see the loss of key landscape features, the loss of high quality farmland, a further deterioration of water quality and further disruption to important internal migratory birds along the existing natural corridors.

500 houses for Chidham and Hambrook is excessive and is not supported by the documentation and the numbers should be significantly reduced.
