Issue details
Chichester Southern Gateway Former High School Building
The Chichester Growth Deal, agreed in April 2018 by the Leaders and Chief Executive Officers of West Sussex County Council (WSCC) and Chichester District Council (CDC) defines joint growth priorities for Chichester, including the Southern Gateway. The Southern Gateway comprises land parcels predominantly currently under the control of, or likely to be under the control of, CDC, WSCC and Homes England (HE) to be progressed in line with the development aspirations of the Adopted Southern Gateway MasterPlan to deliver housing, employment space and improved public realm on the key southern route into the City.
WSCC land (the former Chichester High School Year 7 Block and current all-weather hockey pitch) comprise part of the MasterPlan with shared boundaries to Police land. WSCC officers are working in partnership with CDC and HE to consider the options for the delivery of development on the WSCC land. A valuation and options appraisal is under way to inform an Outline Business Case.
The Leader will be asked to agree a preferred option for the delivery of development on the WSCC land.
