Priority views to the Chichester Cathedral framed by the SDNP from inside the AONB, Salterns Way and Dell Quay would be impacted or lost.
CDC's own assessment here http://www.chichester.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=18730&p=0 identified the following as priority views:
VIEW 9: VIEW FROM CHICHESTER MARINA/ YACHT BASIN
VIEW 10: VIEW FROM SALTERNS COPSE
VIEW 12: VIEW FROM FISHBOURNE CHANNEL
VIEW 13: VIEW FROM PARK LANE ON THE BOSHAM PENINSULA
VIEW 14: VIEW FROM DELL QUAY ROAD
All these views would be impacted.

The site is located on top of and split in half by flood zones 2/3, these flood zones at this present time not taking into account future rises in sea levels and climate change. Developing on this site is reckless and not a long term vision. Any link road would need to be raised over the flood plain further impacting the character of the landscape.

Deterioration in water quality from run off on the link road and development sites could lead to the downgrading of Chichester Harbour's SSSI status.

The site is immediately adjacent to the AONB and developing it would have a detrimental impact on the landscape character in relation to the AONB and SDNP.

Sites on the edge of the city were assessed in a "sustainability impact report" http://www.chichester.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=27222&p=0 where it was discounted with the summary "Overall this site has the most negative impacts and the fewest positive of all the Chichester options."

The site partly falls inside an SSSI Sites of Special Scientific Interest risk zone

A link road would need to be raised to cross flood zone 3 increasing noise, emissions and light pollution

The site is in close proximity to RAMSAR site designated to be of international importance, and development would disrupt important migrating birds.

Waste water issues, is there sufficient capacity to handle such a development.

The development takes away a green corridor between Chichester and the Harbours Fishbourne channel. The development will remove the green gap between the fenced off Apuldram Sewage Works and the A27.

Policy AL6 is proposed to have 33 hectares for employment development space. This is 3 times the requirement.
