ANCIENT remains could force changes to a controversial multi-million pound Chichester redevelopment scheme.
Plans to build more than 70 homes and a handful of shops on land between Eastgate and New Park Road are opposed by English Heritage because it is concerned they will impact on buried archaeological sites including part of a Roman cemetery and the city's Roman defences.
In a letter to Chichester District Council it said it had concerns over the height and bulk of the proposed development.
English Heritage can press for planning applications to be considered at Whitehall level if a council looks set to approve a plan it is against.
