Public Consultation – Chichester Harbour National Landscape Management Plan (2025-2030)
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 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.
The Management Plan is available here:
Once you’ve had a chance to read new Management Plan you can participate in the Consultation here:
We are very keen to hear your views as they will help to shape the final version of the Plan, which we are aiming to submit to the Local Authorities in the summer of 2025.
If you would like to discuss the Management Plan, require the document in a different format, or you wish to submit a printed version of the feedback form, please contact our team for assistance.
The public consultation on the new Chichester Harbour Management Plan (2025-2030) will close on 30 June 2025 (23:55).
