I do not believe this policy to be sustainable for these reasons:

• No provision for basic infrastructure development (that which exists is already at breaking point), most particularly provision for sewerage infrastructure/concentration on water quality. There would seem to be no plan to make this resilient and sustainable.
• No accentuation on realistically affordable housing
• There is inadequate provision of wildlife corridors ,inadequate protection of the very precious chalk streams - indeed one, Newells, is not in the plan at all.
• It takes no account of the continuing rise in sea level and climate change which will have a major impact on this area of the south coast which is at special risk of sustained flooding as well as adverse weather events
• There seems to be no commitment to sustainable or carbon neutral houses, contrary to national policy to be carbon neutral by 2030
• Destruction of agricultural land when the country needs to produce more of its own food.
• It would require excessive building between the South Downs National Park and the Chichester Harbour SSSI/RAMSAR site to the huge detriment of both

I would also urge the Council to make full use of all existing brown field sites, empty commercial properties, and recognise the changing habits in shopping and thus use of the centre of Chichester.
