Living East of Chichester city centre,like many of us not protected by being in The South Downs National Park ,I live in a constant state of fear ,over what pretty and pleasant area you will allow to be spoilt with mass building next, everyday I pass yet another place,that had trees fields ,hedging and wildlife gone forever.
Surely if a large part of our area is protected from being built on and quite rightly, logic should suggest that the target housing numbers should be reduced,for the smaller areas left not kept the same and ruthlessly packed into every space no matter the cost to our wildlife, or which villages are spoilt. I’m no expert just another person who loves this lovely area we live in but judging by the amount of traffic jams and the ridiculous amount of people all trying to cram themselves onto our beaches recently, should we really be encouraging thousands more people to come and live in this really very small city and mainly small village area.
I had hoped that the new faces in control of CDC would be different, and perhaps even stand up to the government with their unreasonable demands for more and more house building in every space they can be crammed in but it seems it will only stop when every once charming village is a mass of concrete.
