Parts of Hunston already flood with a high water table. 200 more houses will only make flooding more of a probability. Also the current sewage, drainage and water utilities will not cope with this amount of pressure. Some parts of Hunston are not even on mains drainage.

A lot less new houses and major improvements to sewage and drainage in the village.

The A27 is often gridlocked and traffic cannot flow through Hunston from Sidlesham and Selsey. 250 more houses in Selsey, 200 in Hunston and around 400 around Pagham will put the roads at a standstill. The new Free School already causes major problems and these will be exacerbated. The B2145 is the 4th busiest B-road in the UK and cannot cope with 1,000+ extra cares meeting where the B2166 joins north of Hunston. Residents will be trapped. There are already major problems when emergency services need to get through. Added to that, during the summer the population and traffic doubles. The traffic pressures on Hunston are already intolerable.

Northern A27 route and less new houses on Manhood peninsula.


We do not need an extra 200 houses in Hunston which would increase the size of the village by 35%. Most of the land suggested as housing sites is currently agricultural and used for valuable food production. Surely that must be more useful than housing, which could go on brownfield sites, and we cannot afford to give up such land - once gone lost forever. Also we would just become a dormitory village for Chichester albeit cut off by the A27.

A lot less houses - no more than 80.
