I object to the allocation of 250 homes to be built on Bethwines farm. I contest that the infrastructure is sufficient to sustain more homes. As a school Governor I am aware that Fishbourne primary school is over subscribed, with current villagers unable to gain access to their own local school. I travel along the A259 and I am dreadfully aware of the current hold-ups at the Fishbourne roundabout, which would only be made worse. This is a notorious roundabout with many accidents. As an active member of my community I know that due to the lack of buses, many elderly residents have to use their cars. So the pressure on the A259 is already building. Bethwines farm forms a natural break between Fishbourne and Bosham, where nature can flourish and residents of Blackboy lane enjoy the views of the downs but also the changing seasons; crops grown and harvested. This farm is valued for many reasons and it is my greatest sorrow to think that the farm land will be replaced by housing. Residents know that Fishbourne will grow, and the Parish has been very effective at locating sites in the past (I believe that our past effectiveness is now being used against us as most identified sites have been used) The farm is productive and I believe that the current farmer wishes to continue. I am fearful that 250 homes will then lead to over 1000 and our village identity will be gone. Bosham residents feel the same way. To create a continuous belt of residential development from Chichester to Emsworth would be a mistake, destroying village identities and putting pressure on road, school and other services. I am also aware of the danger of flooding if the area of farmland were to be covered by housing and the pressure on the current narrow Blackboy lane and Clay lane. These roads are not wide enough to take passing cars in places and are already used by some as a rat run. Concerns over speeding cars have led to a consolation to reduce speed limits but this has been unsuccessful; more traffic will lead to more speeding and potentially accidents.
