The Barratt vision will cover many fields and East Wittering and Bracklesham will merge into one huge housing estate if this is allowed it is unavoidable that the ancient hedgerows and indigenous tress and plants will be torn out denuding animal habitat. This should be avoided at all cost and I would dispute that 15 meters is enough of a buffer between new development and woodland. My impression is that very few new housing developments have adequate screening with hedges and trees, planners should take care that this is achieved.
