200 increase in dwellings is disproportionate and excessive within a village that currently only has approx. 520 dwellings i.e a 40% increase. This would have an unsustainable impact on traffic (as already identified in Chichester Local Plan travel study), the Hunston Copse and Conservation Area, flood risk and waste water capacity.

Previous proposal was 25 under 2029 plan (and agreed by Inspectorate) and therefore a 8 fold increase (to 2035) is excessive and unsustainable.

Land made available by landowners is not suitable for development due to impact on traffic, loss of grade 1/2 arable land, loss of open spaces, impact on surrounding Hunston Copse, Hunston Conservation area and views to cathedral.

Any development should be on the outskirts of the village (north or south) to avoid access roads and congestion in the village centre and minimise the impact on the central open spaces which are enjoyed by the village.

Local Plan should accept that the village can become more delineated in order to manage traffic, protect open spaces and minimise the impact on existing dwellings on the edge of the current settlement boundary which would be adjacent to any new development.
