The Settlement Hierarchy background paper forms the basis for the proposed distribution of growth by distinguishing between those settlements considered to be the most sustainable having the best range of facilities and accessibility from those with the least. Most development is focused on the former and development to meet local needs or no development whatsoever on the latter. We agree that Southbourne is properly classified as a settlement hub in the hierarchy background paper being the 3rd largest settlement behind Chichester & Selsey in terms of population and having 26 total facilities.

Whilst we understand the need assessment was carried out in accordance with standard method set out in PPG we suggest it has potential flaws as 435dpa in adopted plan already fails to meet need. It should consider the un-met needs of other adjoining authorities not just National Park.

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 potential longer lead in times for housing delivery we suggest the plan includes a trajectory for them especially as this would better comply with Paragraph 73 of the NPPF2.

Support policy S12. However the Local Plan Policy or the IDP 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. Not set out in either S12 or the IDP (paragraph 15.4) which specifically deals with the Southbourne allocation.

We support the allocation of land for a minimum of 1250 dwellings at Southbourne Parish and note from paragraph 6.89 that Southbourne Parish Council is preparing a revised neighbourhood plan for the parish which will identify potential development site(s).
