Councils concerned over housing targets say infrastructure is key
Chichester would need to find space to build 1,200 new homes a year – a 59% rise.
Chichester District Council’s Liberal Democrat leader, Adrian Moss, said: “We want sustainable communities.
“We want to build affordable housing for local people. So it is very important for us to deliver on our local plans.
“However, we have a real issue with the infrastructure. That is to do with the A27, water treatment and the electrical supply, which is also causing an issue in our economic development.”
He added: “We are not the ultimate decision makers in terms of those builds, and the government does need to come to the party and support us with our work with Southern Water, with our work with the electrical companies to ensure that infrastructure gets delivered.”
