Why 250 extra houses in Fishbourne, is it because not many of influence live here?

It certainly is not because of logic. Fishbourne has had the third most development of
all the towns and villages in Chichester in recent years.

As first general points Fishbourne is not suitable for further large scale housing developments as any likely sites are unsuitable due to the risk of flooding, the loss of agricultural land, the lack of road capacity, and sewage capacity at Apuldram.

No proper thought was given to transport in the recent and current developments and there is no reason to believe any new ones will do any better under the current
regimen.

Already with the numbers of extra dwellings in recent years the local school is turning
away pupils.

There are also far more dog walkers than there were leaving mess and putting pressure on ground nesting and seasonal birds in the Harbour AONB.

We can only assume that the strain on the AONB would increase even further.

Can we suggest that you look at other towns and villages in the district which have so far evaded being lined up to these pressures?

Our Wildlife could also do with some relief from over-development.
