• Made Bury NDP.

The Bury NDP is part of the Development Plan for the parish as defined by the Neighbourhood Area designated on 12 December 2015.

The Bury NDP can be viewed at the following location:

• South Downs Centre, North Street, Midhurst, West Sussex, GU29 9DH.

A referendum was held on the Bury NDP on 01 March 2018. Further information on the referendum is available on the Chichester District Council website.

There was a 38% turnout, with the following results:

• Yes = 90.6% (455 votes)
• No = 9.4% (109 votes)

• NDP Policy 3 – Minor variation to the wording in relation to the allocation for new housing to allow for greater flexibility in how the site comes forward.
• NDP Policy 8 – Retention of the designation of the Wharf and Common Land as a Parish Heritage Asset.

As per the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 (as amended), if a local planning authority proposes to make a decision which differs from the Examiner’s recommendations, then it must notify the qualifying body, consultation bodies, and all those who made a representation to the Examiner about their proposed decision (and reasons for it) and invite representations on the variations. 

The closing date for representations was 12 January 2018.  No objections were received during the period for submitting representations, and Historic England supported the retention of the designation of the Wharf and Common Land as a Parish Heritage Asset.

The SDNPA agreed the Final Decision Statement for the Bury NDP on 15 January 2018.  This sets out the modifications that were made to the Bury NDP prior to referendum.
