Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Policy S28: Pollution

Representation ID: 2551

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Chichester Harbour Trust

Representation Summary:

This policy, whilst welcomed, is not sufficiently comprehensive and should certainly identify and address the different forms of pollution likely to arise from housing development (and its relating infrastructure) including:
- Noise pollution
- Air pollution
- Light pollution
- Water pollution

The policy should recognise there are three designated Dark Skies Discovery Zones within the District (in the AONB) and seek to introduce measures to protect these.

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 S29: Green Infrastructure

Representation ID: 2552

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Chichester Harbour Trust

Representation Summary:

We welcome the inclusion of this section, and feel that it could be more comprehensively expanded, particularly relating to the creation of green infrastructure links between the AONB and South Downs National Park.

Policy S30: Strategic Wildlife Corridors

Representation ID: 2553

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Chichester Harbour Trust

Representation Summary:

We strongly support the inclusion of this policy and would welcome its further development to ensure its effectiveness. We support the policy responses from Chichester Harbour Conservancy and from Southbourne Parish Council in this regard.

We feel that with further development, the inclusion of this policy may go some way towards mitigating some of the potential impacts of the local plan housing allocations on the AONB.

Policy S31: Wastewater Management and Water Quality

Representation ID: 2554

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Chichester Harbour Trust

Representation Summary:

Concerned about the potential adverse impact of additional housing requirement on the water quality of Chichester Harbour.

Chichester Harbour SSSI at risk of being downgraded to Unfavourable - no change - failing of authorities to adequately manage the nutrient input into the harbour by the three Waste Water Treatment Works.

There needs to be critical analysis of the capacity of the WWTW to cope with additional inputs from the numbers of new houses proposes with a robust strategy to manage this input, given the current unacceptable levels of storm discharges into the Harbour (data available from the Environment Agency).

Policy S32: Design Strategies for Strategic and Major Development Sites

Representation ID: 2555

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Chichester Harbour Trust

Representation Summary:

We welcome the inclusion of the masterplanning requirement for strategic development sites to ensure they meet the needs of the local community and avoid ad-hoc piecemeal development of green-field land without a coherent structure.

Policy AL9: Fishbourne Parish

Representation ID: 2558

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Chichester Harbour Trust

Representation Summary:

Without seeing any site allocation maps showing the potential location of the development (other than the HELAA document), we feel it would be difficult for Fishbourne to accommodate the development of an additional 250 houses without having an impact on:

- The setting of Chichester Harbour AONB
- An impact on water quality in Chichester Harbour SSSI
- An increase in recreational disturbance of migrating bird species, particularly at the head of the Fishbourne Channel

We recognise that the policy tries to address these issues through the masterplanning process and urge that they are given due weight.

Policy AL10: Chidham and Hambroo Parish

Representation ID: 2559

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Chichester Harbour Trust

Representation Summary:

As for policy AL9 at Fishbourne, it is difficult to assess the potential impact of this proposal on Chichester Harbour AONB.

We urge that the provision of 500 houses at Chidham and Hambrook should not lead to the erosion of the setting of the AONB, and should not lead to coalescence with neighbouring settlements, particularly Southbourne to the West.

Policy AL13: Southbourne Parish

Representation ID: 2560

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Chichester Harbour Trust

Representation Summary:

1,250 not lead to the erosion of the setting of the AONB, and should not lead to coalescence with neighbouring settlements.

Hope that the master planning process will sensitively design the new development with appropriate mitigation of the visual impact on the viewshed between the AONB and South Downs NP. The housing should meet the needs of the community, and should conserve settlement integrity and identity.

Adequate provision should be made for waste water treatment.

Provision for recreation and particularly dog walking facilities to reduce the recreational disturbance

Support the PC's aspiration for a "green ring"
