The allocations of 200 dwellings for Hunston and 50 dwellings for North Mundham are overdevelopment of these small villages. This will lead to an increase on the local roads around their parishes and inevitably into Donnington as their residents seek alternative routes to A27. Anecdotal evidence suggests that Hunston does not operate as a Service Village - facilities in Donnington are used instead. Donnington does not need an additional 100 homes - where is the evidence of local need?
The South Downs National Park should take its allocation of 41 dwellings per annum - without some low level development in the Park, particularly social housing, communities there will not thrive. (Policy S4, Policy S5, Policy S19).
The duty to co-operate is understood, however housing allocation was specifically front loaded during the current Local Plan period to allow for infrastructure developments across the district and it is unfair to ask the Manhood Peninsula/Donnington to take a number on this scale given its allocations under the new plan.
