Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 1344

Received: 06/02/2019

Respondent: Mr Seamus Meyer

Representation Summary:

I object to the land being allocated for development of housing, employment and a link road. The land borders the Chichester Harbour AONB and should be preserved as a strategic green space, without development, stretching from the coast at Fishbourne Channel right up to the edge of the City. Development of housing, employment and especially a link road will destroy this. The employment land could be provided adjacent to the Goodwood Motor Circuit and the housing within the South Downs allocation . Donnington residents will be severely disadvantaged by the proposed changes to the A27 especially if travelling east.

I object to the land being allocated for development of housing, employment and a link road. The land borders the Chichester Harbour AONB and should be preserved as a strategic green space, without development, stretching from the coast at Fishbourne Channel right up to the edge of the City. Development of housing, employment and especially a link road will destroy this.
You should be increasing access to this greenspace and the Salterns Way thereby encouraging leisure and recreation to local residents.
The employment land could be provided adjacent to the Goodwood Motor Circuit (previously allocated as a strategic site but now withdrawn and shown as a buffer zone). The proposed 100 dwellings could be accommodated in the South Downs National Park if it took its allocation of 41 dwellings per annum.
The allocation of this site appears to prejudge the resolution of the A27 problems as the traffic mitigation proposed for development of this site aligns with one of A27 improvement options rather than a northern bypass. Donnington residents will be severely disadvantaged by the proposed changes to the A27 especially if they want to travel to the east.
