Chichester District Council has written to the Government urging it to reconsider the way it calculates housing targets under its proposed changes to the current planning system, planning policy and regulations.
Chichester District Council has moved another step further in the Local Plan Review process and published a list of sites across the Local Plan area that may have the potential to accommodate housing and employment.
