The Neighbourhood Plan team have been undertaking a detailed assessment of potential housing sites in the parish. These include all those identified by Chichester District Council (CDC) and those which have responded to our ‘call for sites’.

We have invited representatives of a shortlist of these, which we consider to be viable, to meet with us to discuss their proposals.

Depending on the outcome of these meetings, details of the favoured sites will be presented to the residents of the parish, at our planned Open meeting on 27^th April 2024.

The team are also reviewing our existing policies such as design and considering the impact of any developments on the existing biodiversity, important views, and wildlife corridors in the parish. We will be looking for interested volunteers at the April meeting, to assist with this exercise.

The team are also concerned about other potential commercial developments in the parish. The Saltbarn development on the A285 was withdrawn before a planning decision was made but there are signs that this may be re submitted in the future. There is a consultation taking place about a massive 60,000sqm speculative logistic/warehouse complex at Templebar in Strettington, and we have also been informed of a preliminary application for a solar development somewhere on Boxgrove Common.

Please follow progress on our website where future updates will be posted.
