Representation ID: 2714

Received: 06/02/2019

Respondent: Anita Geser

Representation Summary:

The proposal to build 250 houses or more would change Bosham from a quiet historic village to a small town it would remove agricultural land, a habitat for wildlife, destroy views of the Downs and cause huge increase in traffic and noise. The Gp surgery would be overwhelmed as would the local sewage works causing further pollution in Chichester harbour.

As a resident of Bosham I oppose this plan . There is already a proposal to build 50 houses on this site.

The proposal to build 250 houses or more would change Bosham from a quiet historic village to a small town it would remove agricultural land, a habitat for wildlife, destroy views of the Downs and cause huge increase in traffic and noise. The Gp surgery would be overwhelmed as would the local sewage works causing further pollution in Chichester harbour.

The village submitted a neighbourhood plan the result of a lot of hard work by many villagers and a vote by the village. This Plan has been totally ignored by CDC! I wonder why we bothered!

The plan for 250 houses or more will destroy Bosham as a beautiful quiet village set in an AONB.
