I am pleased that housing is being reconsidered in the Chichester area and support the increase in housing allocation from 435 to 628 per year to support the local population and economy. I hope that levels of local amenities such as shops schools and parks will also be taken into account so that overpopulation of existing facilities does not occur.
I am pleased to see that the Nature Reserve and Chichester Harbour Ares of Natural Beauty are carefully considered in the plan. Those areas have become a lifeline in lockdown to many in the community and we are pleased to see an increase in the residents enjoying our local outdoor spaces in recent months, myself and my family included. Such areas should continued to be protected from development and should not be sacrificed for future housing.
