Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Spatial Vision and Strategic Objectives

Representation ID: 2540

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Chichester Harbour Trust

Representation Summary:

Welcome para 3.7 however plan proposals make this hard to achieve. W of Chichester should be treated holistically

Full text:

We object to the allocation site at Highgrove Farm, Bosham with approximately 13 ha of open countryside allocated to a minimum of 250 houses.

This development in the countryside directly conflicts with policy S24 Countryside and Policy S26 the Natural Environment; which clearly states there should be no adverse impact on the openness of views in and around the coast, designated environmental areas (i.e. the AONB) and the setting of the South Downs National Park. The proposed development at Highgrove Farm directly contradicts these policies.

We strongly believe that this development would cause irretrievable harm to the landscape character, setting and context of Chichester Harbour AONB and the intervisibility with the South Downs National Park. We feel that the measures proposed within the policy would not be able to sufficiently mitigate for the damage this development would cause.

Policy S3: Development Strategy

Representation ID: 2541

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Chichester Harbour Trust

Representation Summary:

This policy outlines the aim of focusing the majority of planned sustainable growth at Chichester and within the east west corridor. We feel this strategy is flawed in the context of the allocation between Chichester and Emsworth, which will irretrievably damage the landscape setting, context and character of the land between the AONB and National Park.

The allocations for 125 houses at Birdham and 25 at West Wittering should be located and designed so as not have a negative impact on the landscape of the AONB

Policy S12: Infrastructure Provision

Representation ID: 2544

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Chichester Harbour Trust

Representation Summary:

It is essential to increase the capacity of water treatment works at all facilities in Chichester Harbour to ensure no additional storm discharges of untreated waste water into the Harbour, which could adversely impact the status of the SSSI designation.

Policy S17: Thorney Island

Representation ID: 2545

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Chichester Harbour Trust

Representation Summary:

We welcome the support for the continued military use of the barracks, and the MOD are good environmental custodians for the unique environment of Thorney Island.

However in the event that the military should leave the island, the case for masterplanning for development is clearly worrying; the historic, cultural and natural environment of the Island is unique and fundamentally worth preserving.

Policy S27: Flood Risk Management

Representation ID: 2550

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Chichester Harbour Trust

Representation Summary:

The policy introductory text does not tackle the issue of storm discharge and the capacity of water treatment works to cope with the excess run off in flood conditions.

It seems remiss that the policy and supporting text does not discuss coast protection policy and guidance (although this is covered in DM18 and could be cross referenced).

We would hope to see reference to the Chichester Harbour Conservancy guidance on shoreline defences in Chichester Harbour AONB.
