Respondent: William Fleming

Representation Summary:

The SDNP (Policy S3, Policy S5 and Policy S19) should share some of the development or have a northern route around Chichester.

Policy S23 is not acceptable as this is similar to the Highways England Option 2 which was comprehensively rejected by the public. If S23 were to be implemented according to the Peter Brett consultation then The South Downs National Park (SDNP) should have to take more housing and trade development to relieve the pressure that would be put on the Manhood Peninsula.
The Manhood cannot cope with any more development without having a complete upgrade of the A27, not the Peter Brett S23 option.
The SDNP (Policy S3, Policy S5 and Policy S19) should share some of the development or have a northern route around Chichester.
Site AL6 Land South West of Chichester (Apuldram and Donnington Parishes) is within a flood plain with the River Lavant running directly through the middle of the area.
This area should remain a strategic gap between the two parishes and efforts concentrated on the area being more gainfully used as a green wildlife corridor.
This area should be removed and use the alternative land near Goodwood; Policy AL6, S15, S16.
