We support the acknowledgement that Service Villages are suitable places for new housing. In many instances such locations are dependent on population growth to support existing services so this approach is welcomed.
We also support the strategy of dispersing development across the plan area.
However, we do consider that the Service Village of North Mundham / Runcton is suitable for strategic scale development being located close to the A27 and south-east connections to Bognor Regis/Littlehampton, with good access to employment facilities; primary, secondary and sixth form education services; Chichester train station within 2.5 miles and regular bus services.
