Decision details

The adopted Local Plan identifies Tangmere as a Strategic Development Location. Work has started on a CPO in order to deliver the 1000 homes required. This report will update Members on the work undertaken and includes some of the first steps which need to take place to start the CPO process.

(Recommendation from Development Plan and Infrastructure Panel)

RESOLVED

(1)  That the use of Chichester District Council’s compulsory purchase and associated powers (which at this stage are anticipated as likely to include but not be limited to those under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Local Government Act 1972) to facilitate comprehensive development at Tangmere SDL be supported in principle, subject to Chichester District Council being satisfied that the acquisition of each interest or right to be acquired is justified in the public interest.

(2)  That in conjunction with the appointed CPO advisors, work shall commence on the selection process to identify a suitable development partner (master developer) to deliver a masterplan for the Tangmere SDL and a subsequent scheme that delivers the comprehensive development of the Tangmere SDL in accordance with the adopted Chichester Local Plan and ‘made’ Tangmere Neighbourhood Development Plan.

(3)  That it be approved that Knight Frank (CPO Advisor), Citicentric (CPO Surveyor/non-legal advice) and Davitt Jones Bould (legal advice) be retained to assist Chichester District Council in carrying out the above steps subject to remaining within the overall approved budget provision for the project.

(4)  That the officers be authorised to undertake the next steps as set out in section 6 of the agenda report.
