Representation ID: 1366

Received: 06/02/2019

Respondent: Miss Anna Gaymer

Representation Summary:

Site AL6 Land South West Of Chichester (Apuldram and Donnington Parishes) includes a flood plain. Using data from CDCs flood plain assessment, the average height of flood water on the River Lavant is 2.05 meters (6.07ft) above datum (sea level).This means the road will have to be elevated by at least 2.5m and more with the supporting structures and road thickness itself. Therefore nearer 4m (13ft). This would destroy the iconic views of the cathedral framed by the South Downs.
