Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 1206

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Mrs Jane Towers

Representation Summary:

Complete ambiguity re a replacement school. WSCC WILL NOT support a school in Bosham and Chidham. Primary school places = 210 children per 1000 homes.
Bosham & Chdiham would therefore need 155 places not 420 two schools would provide.
AONB restrictions limit available land which will lead to greater density than is recommended or desired.
Loss of pasture, fields, woods, hedgerows, important views

Unacceptable to use Grade 1 and 2 agricultural land

Projections for the number of homes taken from the HELAA are inconsistent. The CDC suggested number of 30 -35 houses per hectare and 80% of undevelopable gives a total of 360-420. The numbers given by CDC are higher as they are given by the proposer and not CDC. This will result in sites previously rejected as outside the settlement boundary, impact on AONB and limited access having to be considered.
Apart from the main A259 there is only one road that can serve as access, Broad Rd which already has restrictions due to visibility. The junction onto the A259 is already dangerous.
