As a consultation we assume that means you will listen to comments and make changes based on the views of locals affected by this Plan. Otherwise why would you go out to consultation except to meet legal requirements!


How do you justify the plan to enforce 250 Neighbourhood Plan Lead houses on Fishbourne. There is no justification for this number other than the chance of land being available. If Fishbourne new neighbourhood plan can only agree on say 200 homes this ought to be acceptable as it would be plan lead.

You talk about Minding The Gap between villages but then close the gap by proposing large scale developments at Highgrove Farm in Bosham and Bethwines at Fishbourne....... We MIND the GAP and this should not happen.....you well know that if any houses are allowed in Bethwines the developers will pester and worm until they get 1000 houses and then the gap will gradually disappear and Fisham or Bosbourne will be the new name of the once two villages.

All of this is of course illegal as it will (with the other houses along the A259) make the pollution level at Fishbourne and the roundabout even worse that it is at the moment !

Who will be liable for causing this extra illegal pollution? Will it be Planners or Councillors or will it be central government .......The answer of course is nobody!!! We will all have to suffer !

Why do CDC have to take extra houses because the South Downs "cannot" ...they should be told to make 10 extra houses, for locals only, in each village or hamlet...

We hope that these issues will be taken notice of and not just added to all the other objections and ignored .
