Whilst we support the building of new houses we object strongly to the ill thought out proposals as presently advised.

1. Some of the proposed developments eg: Highgrove, Bosham are on prime agricultural land. With an increasing population and ever greater demands to become self sufficient this is in our view madness.

2. Many of the proposed developments are on the Chichester flood plain. The line that major flooding is a one in two hundred year event is delusional and will be made worse by any further development.

3. There seem to be no firm proposals for improving/increasing local infrastructure. Schools and surgeries are generally over subscribed and had any of the bureaucrats and developers who proposed these developments had to take themselves or their children to A and E in St Richard’s they would not dream of building new homes without providing adequate hospital facilities for the existing population.
