Chidham & Hambrook has been misrepresented as a service village. The criteria used is flawed. There is no convenience store, medical services, recreation ground, sports facilities unlike Fishbourne and Bosham. 300 houses is not moderate growth. It increases the population by 30% there are minimal existing facilities to expand and there is no provision in this plan for increased public transport options. Its just left to the private sector to provide, a sector whose aim is to make a profit. There is no bus service north to south and the east/west bus service has been cut to 2 an hour.
To redefine the service village criteria.
To reduce the housing to both these villages.
