I would like to register my concern and objections to the proposed 300 houses and development at Highgrove Bosham.

The Strategic Gap is being eroded towards ribbon development and urban sprawl.

The existing sewerage system is near to breaking point already so this would put the system in an even more precarious position.

Due to the added development, there will be an increased risk of flooding due to high water table and poor drainage.

Closing the wildlife corridor between east ashling , broad bridge and Chichester harbour, which is contrary to CDC's own policy of preserving such corridors.

There will be a further distraction of the historic scenic landscape and views between the South Downs national park and Chichester harbour AONB.

There is no evidence of the need or desire for a two form entry school on the north edge. Bringing in students from many directions, creating increase of car movements and the closure of a poplar and successful school.

There seems to have been no consideration of other sites closer to the village centre, or sites north of Chichester.

The roads plan to favour the through traffic along the A27 and reintroduces. Plans for a southern link road and road plans that have already been rejected in the A27 consultations( options 2&3) This would cause an increase of traffic on the A259, more congestion around the Tesco's roundabout which is already a very dangerous one and increased air pollution.
