I urge you to re-consider the Planning Policy for the local area, the sustainability and survival of the CHAONB and the character of the local area. All will be irrevocably damaged if great care is not taken to protect this special area which is so important to the wellbeing of many people.

It is a time of great change to how and where people work and live, and I urge you to consider the centre of Chichester and surrounding areas, how to better combine living for all age groups but particularly small households, with local amenities, shopping and work spaces, and to offer good and safe cycle and pedestrian routes to lessen the dependance on cars throughput the area and to make cycling and walking are pleasant and safe.

Please prioritise:
• Climate change
• sustainable building in places that have centres with schools, doctors,community hubs
• protection of the precious eco-systems
• CHAONB
• Infrastructure planning which supports cycling and local walking
