Chichester City Council

Local Plan update & new default speed limit

Edited extracts from draft minutes of Planning and Conservation Committee meeting 2nd Feb 2023. Local Plan update - Informed of District Council’s formal Regulation 19 consultation for presubmission Local Plan taking place from 3rd Feb -17th Mar 2023. Consultation focused on legal tests of soundness, compliance and duty to cooperate. Respondents have the opportunity to raise issues relating to Plan. Main policy changes from “preferred approach” version outlined. Housing Allocations within Parish would be 180 within remaining Southern Gateway sites with additional 270 for rest of Parish. Improvements to A27 at Fishbourne roundabout would be funded by developer contributions, likely to be the case for Bognor roundabout depending on outcome of a “monitor and manage” approach.

Whitehouse Farm Phase 2 developers to continue paying agreed £1,803 per dwelling to continue delivering advanced scheme. Similar for scheme at Tangmere. Future housing developments required to pay new contribution of £7,728

District Council hadn’t confirmed when they’d begin implementing policy. They could wait until Plan went to examination, but possible to introduce earlier. Potential issue of delivering Local Plan if too many large scale housing developments permitted before new policy started, as amount raised through developer contributions over Local Plan period could fall short of cost of A27 improvements required. Updated on possible National Planning Policy Framework changes relevant to housing need and rules on housing land supply relevant to Local Plan.
