Being aligned north-south, it crosses all the main geologies of West Sussex from the greensand ridges, through Wealden river valleys and heathlands, to the high chalk downland and the coastal plain. In so doing it offers a great variety of scenery, flora and fauna. The trail logo reflects this by depicting the South Downs, the River Rother and Chichester Harbour. It can be walked energetically in three days, bearing in mind that the total ‘climb’ is around 650 metres/2,000 feet. The maps divide it into six sections, which although unequal in distance, break the route into stages that allow the possible use of public transport. There is a good choice of accommodation and restaurants in Liphook, Midhurst and Chichester, elsewhere there is a smattering of pubs and B&Bs – although the northern section is a little sparse in that respect.

    F11f Chichester District Council Chichester District Council Local Planning Authority Selsey Neighbourhood Plan 2014 - 2029 DECISION STATEMENT 1. Introduction 1.1 Under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 (as amended), the Council has a statutory duty to assist communities in the preparation of Neighbourhood Plans and Orders and to take plans through a process of examination, referendum and adoption. The Localism Act 2011 (Part 6 Chapter 3) sets out the local planning authority’s responsibilities for Neighbourhood Planning. 1.2 This report confirms that the modifications proposed in the examiner’s report have been accepted, the draft Selsey Neighbourhood Plan has been altered as a result of it and that this plan may now proceed to referendum. 2. Background 2.1 The Selsey Neighbourhood Development Plan relates to the area that was designated by Chichester District Council as a neighbourhood area on 4 December 2012. This area is coterminous with the Selsey Town Council boundary that lies within the Chichester District Council local planning authority area. 2.2 Following the submission of the Selsey Neighbourhood Plan to the Council, the plan was publicised and representations were invited. The publicity period ended on 23 March 2018. 2.3 Mr John Slater was appointed by Chichester District Council, with the consent of Selsey Town Council, to undertake the examination of the Selsey Neighbourhood Development Plan and to prepare a report of the independent examination. 2.4 The examiner’s report concludes that, subject to making modifications recommended by the examiner, the Plan meets the basic conditions set out in the legislation and should proceed to a Neighbourhood Plan referendum.

We depend on your feedback: [email protected] Public rights are restricted to printing, copying or distributing this document exactly as seen here, complete and without any cutting or editing. See Principles on main webpage. Historic country town, views, horse pastures, streams, bridges In Brief Petworth is among the oldest and most opulent little towns in Sussex, famous for its elegant stone buildings and antique dealers. Most visitors come to visit Petworth House and Park, a splendid treasure in the bejewelled collection of National Trust properties. You can combine this visit with the town and the scenic walk described here by obtaining a pass- out at the town entrance. There are no nettles on this walk so any kind of sensible attire is fine. Because the first half of the walk is across horse pastures, there is a fair amount of sticky ground in the damper seasons, when boots are recommended. There are some high stiles on this walk, requiring some steady agility. Your dog will enjoy this walk but a short leash will be needed in the town because of the traffic. The walk begins at the Market Square in Petworth , West Sussex, postcode GU28 0AP . There is a large car park just south of the Market Square, allowing up to 7 hours for a very reasonable charge.

Local communities now have a greater influence over the way their neighbourhoods are developed, placing community need at its heart, along with co-operation with developers and local authorities. In addition to a number of policy changes, one of the most significant is the way the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) is applied through the involvement of local communities and a presumption in favour of sustainable developments in line with community need. The removal of the regional tier with the abolition of regional spatial strategies (RSS), local planning policy has become essential. Communities defined by parish or geography have been encouraged to develop their own neighbourhood plans, to provide an informed and contextual framework to determine future development, whilst conforming to strategic and local policies. Through the development of neighbourhood plans, it is essential to give the community every opportunity to contribute their thoughts and to comment on any proposed developments.
