Representation ID: 406

Received: 27/01/2019

Respondent: Mrs Jacqueline Ellis

Representation Summary:

As a rural community, Hunstons housing is at capacity, given the lack of development or improvement in providing an infrastructure for safe living.

Full text:

- whilst I accept the need for increased housing nationally and locally, Hunston is not an appropriate area for this proposed development
- there has been a large increase in housing in Hunston in recent years, but with no consideration to improving the infrastructure required for safe living.
- footpaths are not maintained adequately to ensure safe passage of residents, especially on the eastern side footpath leading from the north to the playing field,
- there us no safe crossing from the west dude to the playing field.
- the footpath leading from the Whyke roundabout to the village is now blocked daily by cars parked for the Free school, thus endangering safe walking .
- considerable building in Selsey as well as the huge growth of the nursery and packing enterprise has created an enormous increase in traffic, including large lorries and farm machinery.
- the local school is full to capacity and presumably there are no plans for development
- the nearest GP surgery, south of Chichester, is already overstretched.
- Hunston is historically a rural community, the spirit and wellbeing of which is at risk of being undermined.
- within the proposed 200 houses it is not clear what percentage will be for much needed social housing.
