Representation Summary:

Concerned that there have been an excessive number of houses built within the last few years.

I live to the west of Chichester and I am very concerned that there have been an excessive number of houses built within the last few years. I hope these will count towards the vast numbers we have to accommodate. The infrastructure cannot cope after large amounts of rain and the excess sewerage effluent is discharged into the harbour. The corridors left for wildlife have disappeared and very little affordable or social housing has been constructed. The draft policy statement would be fine if we had the infrastructure and the space - but sadly we do not.
