There is inadequate infrastructure and services to meet the increased demand.

There are serious concerns regarding the adequacy of infrastructure and services. There is doubt that sewage systems and drainage systems would cope with so many new homes. Roads are acknowledged as being inadequate for the current need let alone significant additional traffic. There is no sign of any solution to separating local and through traffic on the A27. Infrastructure must be improved before new homes are built. Given that infrastructure involves lengthy build times the number of new homes should be reduced until adequate infrastructure exists. This should include proper footpaths and cycle ways. Currently the is no all-weather footpath/cycle route to Chichester from Hunston. In fact this does not exist for children to get to the new Free School from Hunston which is an opportunity missed when the school was built. Currently most residents travel to Chichester for GP, Dental and Pharmacy services. Will there be capacity for the hundreds of new residents?
