Factors That Affect Price in Chichester

• Soil type – clay (Tangmere) vs chalk (Lavant) vs sand (Bosham/Fishbourne).
• Access – coastal terraces and tight city streets often have restricted access.
• Distance to spoil disposal facilities and the volume of excavation.
• Material choice – premium stones and complex patterns increase cost.
• Drainage requirements – especially in Bosham, Donnington and Hunston.
• Conservation area restrictions or listed building constraints.
• Flood zone rules near the harbour and local SUDS requirements.
