Decision details

Upon the invitation of the Chair, the Planning Policy Team Leader presented the report which sought the Committee’s agreement to carry out consultations and advertise the making of a Local Development Order (LDO) for the University of Chichester, Bognor Regis Campus, with a view to a further report to Full Council to approve the adoption of the LDO following the consultation. It was confirmed that any such development would be for ancillary uses for staff and students and not for residential use. Members were in support of the report for the same reasons as the previous item. The recommendations were then proposed by Councillor Bower and seconded by Councillor McDougall.
