Representation Summary:

No wildlife corridors have been assessed or included between the area's three important wetland areas, Chichester Harbour, Medmerry and Pagham Harbour presumably because no large housing allocations have been made for the Manhood Peninsula. But it is important to acknowledge the importance of maintaining strong connectivity between the wetland areas and maintaining the capacity to expand wetland provision on the Manhood as rising sea levels will reduce the existing wetland areas.
