Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 105

Received: 10/01/2019

Respondent: Maria Court

Representation Summary:

I support the inclusion of wildlife corridors in the local plan as they are vital to a viable ecological network within the whole district and will ensure there are both permanent green links between the AONB and SDNP. This network will not only support wildlife but provide spaces to be close to nature - so important for our own health and well-being. I notice from the maps that the corridors do not extend east-west in Chichester Harbour but appear to just end at the sea - it is important that they join together at the southern end for maximum benefit.

This network will not only support wildlife but provide spaces to be close to nature - so important for our own health and well-being. I notice from the maps that the corridors do not extend all the way across the peninsulars in Chichester Harbour but appear to just end at the sea - it is important that they join together at the southern end for maximum benefit.
