As the review has pointed out at 6.57, there is 'significant traffic congestion' on the road to Chichester and also that there are 'relatively few employment opportunities'. The combination of the two means that there will be increased congestion from people travelling off the Manhood to go to other places of work. The medical centre is already under pressure trying to cope with the existing number of patients. Whilst cycle and footpath provision is identified in the village - these need to be improved along the main roads, where cyclists hold up traffic and are a danger to themselves and drivers.
It is likely that many of the properties will be bought as second homes since this is a popular holiday destination.
