This mentions settlement hubs and the aspiration for development around these settlement hubs. No linkage is evident that consideration is made for improvements in infrastructure and public transport links to these settlement hubs that are already at breaking point. This linkage and consideration needs to be included in the local plan to adequately address current issues let alone compounding problems from further development. An example is children from Bracklesham having to travel up the Manhood peninsula to Stockbridge and then back down the peninsula to Selsey to attend secondary school. Double the journey distance and time from school provision in Chichester. This is work that should already be being undertaken and not to mitigate further development. Unless this is adequately addressed in future iterations of the plan I will wish to raise this with the examiner at the appropriate juncture.
