It would appear that the proposal for 200 houses in Hunston has no regard for the local demand or the semi-rural nature of the village. It is a cynical attempt to help fulfill national targets set down by Westminster for housing in West Sussex. These proposals will change the fundamental nature of Hunston as a small village with countryside surroundings. It will move Hunston towards being another dormitory of Chichester.
Possibly more importantly is the even bigger issue of traffic. The B2145 is already a nightmare for Hunston. The proposed developments will add to congestion in and around the village. Add to this the proposed further expansion of development on the rest of the Manhood Peninsula.. Given the scope for any realistic improvement in the B2145 is very limited and add the similar expansion of traffic that will come from the Pagham area (B2166), gridlock in the area is inevitable . Further add an A27 with no firm proposals here and we are looking at total gridlock south of Chichester.
