It is beyond belief that this area has been included as a strategic site, when others have been discounted on much flimsier grounds, (cited in S15 and S16)
This site is on a flood plain and with climate change, the risk to this area increases. It is irresponsible to locate industry and housing on such vulnerable land,
There is no sustainable transport to get to this site. Whilst it may appear close to the train station, it is not feasible to travel on foot or cycle without crossing the A27. The Stockbridge footbridge does not facilitate this as there is no path to the south of the A27. There is no provision for a footbridge at the Fishbourne roundabout, without this, this site can only be accessed by vehicles. No costs or land have been taken into consideration for providing a footbridge.
In fact, there is no access to this site at all without using development funds for a road. The costs of which do not appear to adequately consider the mitigation required to cross the flood plain and River Lavant. Due to the low land, serious mitigation would be needed against the noise, light and air pollution; all of which would have a negative impact on the views and character of the area, which is in close proximity to the AONB.

If this is not addressed, I wish to raise these points with the examiner at the appropriate time.
