The Chichester Local Plan was adopted by Chichester District Council in August. The Local Plan sets the housing allocation for Wisborough Green, which is 75 new homes between 2021 and 2039.
Barnfield Shaw (8 homes – under construction) and Tanglewood Nursery (10 homes – planning permission just approved) in Kirdford Road will count towards the 75.
In July we advertised a ‘Call for Sites’ to accommodate this new housing and over the summer, you may have seen some of us out and about around the village with our clipboards. This was the first stage of the NP process. We undertook a first inspection and assessment of the new sites put forward and reassessed previously offered sites for potential changes that may have occurred since our last assessment. To ensure that the assessment process has been applied uniformly, fairly and with rigour, the Parish Council has also engaged the services of an independent planning consultant and will be seeking further advice from Chichester District Council.
This information will be shared with the village at an important consultation in the Village Hall on Friday 27th and Saturday 28th February 2026.
More details will follow, but please make a note of these important dates.
Thank you.
