In the Local Plan documents for public consultation there is not a map accompanying AL9, therefore how can members of the public or other District Councillors know what the Officers at CDC are fully proposing? Without this spatial information the policy is not acceptable.

In addition the Policy 6.62 AONB Chichester is not "to the south of the village" AONB encompasses Fishbourne up to the A259. This needs amending.

Policy AL9 Fishbourne Parish- "Land will be allocated for development in the revised Fishbourne Neighbourhood Plan for a minimum of 250 dwellings". Fishbourne does not have any further room to accommodate 250 homes without losing its distinct identity and separation from Bosham and Chichester City and this policy contravenes the statement in 6.65 "Protecting the separate distinct identity of Fishbourne in relationship to surrounding settlements, including Chichester City." but it omits Bosham Village.

Fishbourne Parish Council have been receptive to development during the previous plan and during meetings with CDC over this draft plan. They have offered up space to accommodate the development of 160 homes on land in the Eastern part of the village Clay Lane. The sudden inclusion of Wildlife Corridors in Policy S30 puts this into question. Please see my response to S30 as these corridors have not been fully thought through and should be moved further West. Hence one can presume the rushed Policy AL9's opening statement! Take the 250 homes quota from AL9 keep to the Parish's proposed maximum 160 and return the 90 homes to SDNP's refused allocation. At a Boxgrove Meeting in Autumn 2018 residents of the SDNP raised their frustration at their undersubscribed and in some cases primary schools closing alongside shops due to the lack of affordable homes in the SDNP to MP Gillian Keegan.

Point 6. There is little opportunity for expansion as this will join settlements and contrary to 6.65.

6.62 states that it "benefits from a railway station" it is not a station just a mere stop and has one train an hour and is situated away from from the majority of the housing. "...a good bus service" what do CDC mean by good? The 700 and 56 bus services, the latter bus route's longevity under question at this present time.

Fishbourne is described as a "Service Village" in Policy S2, how is that the case, it has two pubs and a club. Any access to shops and Doctors Surgeries means leaving the village and heading into Chichester.

A study of Flavian Fields, a recent 97 dwellings development at Fishbourne carried out by Fishbourne Parish Council shows that there are two cars per household, 35% of adult residents in the development do not work, that means that 65% do work and have to travel to employment outside of the village, and must apply equally to Chidham, Bosham and Southbourne. Families already transport their children to school by car outside of Fishbourne due to an already oversubscribed Fishbourne and Bosham School and the only catchment secondary school at Southbourne. It is a fact that Fishbourne already has the highest car dependency in Chichester District due to the lack of facilities.

This and the additional 2,250 houses proposed to be built along the A259 corridor alongside the proposed changes at Fishbourne roundabout will cause a huge increase in traffic, accident rates, congestion, noise and air pollution. According to West Sussex County Council Reported Accident Records December 2013-November 2018 the A259 between Southbourne to Fishbourne had 2 Fatal 15 Serious 33 Slight accidents. With the huge increase in traffic along this stretch of A259 due to the development numbers this is only going to rise.

There is nothing in AL9 mentioning the protection against further air, noise or light pollution.

Re-draft AL9 in line with Fishbourne Parish Council's Neighbourhood Plan
