Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 29

Received: 15/12/2018

Respondent: Mr Douglas McGregor

Representation Summary:

The imposition in the CLP of the Highgrove development on Bosham shows a total disregard for local democracy and the Neighbourhood Plan has been ignored.
Consultation with the village showed that Highgrove was the least favoured of 12 options. This shows a disregard for the recently defined Strategic Countryside Gap policy.
The site is known to be liable to rainwater flooding. The large increase in the foul water burden on a system that already regularly discharges untreated sewage into Bosham Creek would be a totally unacceptable health risk without a major increase in capacity before any building takes place.
