Chichester Harbour National Landscape Management Plan
(2025-2030)
The Management Plan is the single most important document for Chichester Harbour. It sets out an agreed partnership framework for the management of the area. The 29 square miles of landscape has a delicate balance of interests, from internationally important habitats and species to a long and proud history of sailing and boat building.
As a protected landscape, there is a duty to prepare a Management Plan for Chichester Harbour National Landscape every 5 years. Although this is a joint statutory requirement of the four neighbouring Local Authorities, of Hampshire County Council, West Sussex County Council, Chichester District Council and Havant Borough Council, collectively they appoint Chichester Harbour Conservancy to oversee the preparation of each Plan on their behalf.
The Public Consultation period for the 2025-2030 Management Plan closed on 30 June 2025.
Feedback is under consideration.
