This proposal is against the clearly declared wishes of the local community in that it would be a step towards the ultimate coalescence of Bosham and Fishbourne, and in direct opposition to CDC's policy of maintaining the distinct identity of communities by keeping them physically separate (para 5.42 of your document).
Further 'ribbon development' along the A259 is not what Bosham needs. Of far greater benefit would be to link the two halves of the village, North and South of the 259, by putting the required housing, recreation area and possibly school, into the field between Delling and Walton Lanes. It is within the AONB but if the hospice can be built there why not houses?
