Fishbourne has neither the capacity for more homes nor the need to grow further.
Infrastructure already overloaded in all aspects and new homes will further exacerbate the A259 access to the A27 roundabout and further damage safety and pollution levels.
4.14 indicates 'However, consideration has been given to other factors in determining whether a settlement is a suitable location for additional housing growth, including infrastructure capacity, the existence of suitable sites and consultation responses'
Fishbourne has no doctor, shop, health Centre and has limited bus routes with the NO 56 bus on very limited timing and the train line has only limited stopping trains - it is a stop rather than a station. So the designation as Service Village is flawed - the school is full to capacity and the Centre already has most rooms and facilities booked to capacity. We cannot accomodate 250 new homes.
Inrastucture re roads are completely unsuitable with A259 already over capacity and local roads used at rat runs
