I write to object to any further housing devlopment in the Bosham locality. I do not agree with the exisiting approval of 50 houses on the Highgrove site, but list below my objections to any additional houses currently being considered on the Highgrove site.

1. The additional application is being made in the full knowledge of local significant dismay of the original approval of 50 houses.
2. Additional houses on that site is yet another step towards joining the existing villages of Bosham with Fishbourne and Chichester District.
3. This will fundamentally change the character of the area adjacent to the A259 into a suburban landscape.
4. Additional urban facilities will then be required such as medical and social facilities - further adding to the urbanisation.
5. The area in question has poor drainage and is prone to flooding, due to the nature of the agricultural land adjacent to the A259. Additional housing will increase the flooding risk with the area in question requiring many new trees to assist in this matter.

Your consideration of these concerns is requested.
