I object to this planning proposal, not to mention that the houses that have been suggested to be built in my area are positioned upon a FLOOD PLAIN, but will also increase the levels of pollution and congestion on a heavily used road especially in the summer; not only will this affect many people particularly young children who live in the area with health issues such as asthma but will also effect the safety of the road. The Birdham road is often highly congested and abused by many drivers who speed down the road, over the years I have felt it to become increasingly dangerous for me to cross as I walk to school. If I as a 16 year old feel vulnerable crossing the road with disruptive drivers, how will the elderly and young feel when this is added to? Not only has this road lacked the supervision needed but it has also lacked appropriate crossing procedures, even absent at entrances to public footpaths and bus stops. The suggested SLR will not alleviate the issues but aggravate the impact even more with us now being surrounded on all sides. Perhaps rather than ruining our health and putting constituent's welfare in danger on a flood plain, steps to improve the quality of life should be put into place.
Another reason that I strongly object to this proposition, is due to the wildlife aspects. I believe this has been neglected and the council are only focusing on quotas. From the parish of Donnington onwards West Sussex is famously known for our breath-taking views and our cherishment of nature. By building these houses, you will be destroying the wildlife's habitats many of which have limited measures. It is vital for this generation to be aware to preserve nature and create a sustainable environment in order to ensure that species do not enter extinction. If the council is willing to destroy these habitats, what hope do we have? The disruption this would cause would be devastating and I am so disappointed in my council that they believe it is acceptable to ruin the lives of animals to benefit themselves. Surely the council should be responsible for the preservation of the natural aspects of this city rather than just the houses they have made. If this proposal is to be respected, I expect detailed analysis of what the council will take action upon in order to rejuvenate the natural aspects of Donnington but also to reduce the pollution elements. It will be interesting to read your viewpoints on how introducing these settlements will improve my safety, the wildlife and my value of welfare - not to mention how the schools will be able to cope with the increase of children in the area, but how will the increase of this area's population be beneficial for the services such as schools, doctors, dentists and not to mention the public services.
Will the council be taking action on helping to lower the prices of buses? Will the council implement safer roads? Will the council come to reality and think of the issues that actually interest and are important for its constituents?
A raised SLR will have a detrimental effect on the area, a raised road will raise pollution, seriously affect the landscape and affect wildlife in the fields around. This is particular will seriously affect the character and beauty of the area obstructing views of the City, Cathedral and the Downs, the very things which attract visitors to our area

I suggest - do not build on a flood plain ( I believe this is self-explanatory )
Increase the protection of the areas naturistic elements
Focus on reducing the levels of pollution introduced to the area due to the motorway,
