Respondent: North Mundham Parish Council
The wording of the policy which makes provision for glasshouses and polytunnels development has been interpreted to allow packhouse development on the Runcton HDA which is far in excess of that required to handle the produce grown on the HDA. This has led to a loss of valuable high-grade agricultural land which has been acknowledged as being in short supply, and has a severely detrimental effect on the landscape.
