Contact Karen Dower, Planning Policy Manager Tel: 01243 521049; Email: [email protected] 2. Recommendation 2.1. That the responses of the parishes to the housing numbers consultation are given careful consideration. 3. Introduction 3.1. The consultation on parish housing numbers was produced as a step towards identifying a locally derived housing requirement to be incorporated into the Local Plan. 3.2. The appendices to this report present a summary of responses from the parishes that responded by 16 November 2012. 4. Background 4.1. The consultation ran from 27 September to 2 November 2012. Additional responses were received until 16 November 2012. 4.2 The purpose of the consultation was to seek the views of parish and town councils, key infrastructure providers, statutory agencies and neighbouring planning authorities about the amount of non-strategic housing to be provided in the parishes across the District over the Local Plan period to 2029. 4.3 The consultation included all parishes where Chichester District Council remains the Local Planning Authority. It also included parishes where the planning authority is split between Chichester District Council and the South Downs National Park Authority (SDNPA), but where the main settlement(s) lie outside of the SDNPA’s boundary. Parishes not included in the consultation are coloured grey in Appendix 1. 4.4 To inform their responses, each parish council was sent a parish specific ‘key facts’ sheet, a general table indicating the proposed parish-wide distribution of housing, and other supporting information. These are listed as background papers. 5. Responses received by parishes 5.1. The responses were grouped together for each question under common themes, to establish common concerns and requirements. A full commentary of the responses is provided in Appendix 2. Late responses were accepted until 16 November 2012. 6. Responses received by key consultees 6.1. A total of 9 key consultees acknowledged the consultation. These were: • Arun District Council • Natural England • Chichester Harbour • NHS Sussex** Conservancy** • Southern Water** • Environment Agency • Waverley Borough • Highways Agency Council** 6.2. Consultees that provided a full response are marked with **, and a summary of their comments is provided in Appendix 3. 7. Implications for the Local Plan 7.1. In order to meet the South East Plan housing target, the Local Planning Authority must assess what weight should be given to the specific factors identified in the responses that would prevent the parishes meeting their proposed minimum number of houses, and where necessary make any adjustments to the parish housing numbers. 8.
