Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 414

Received: 27/01/2019

Respondent: Mr Mark Stanton

Representation Summary:

Highgrove is a totally inappropriate site for an additional 250 dwellings on top of the 50 already approved. There are many reasons for this:

- there is no waste water management plan and not enough capacity
- the high water table could lead to additional flooding
- it would severely damage the setting of the National Park, the AONB generally and there would be considerable loss to eco-systems and wild life corridors, resulting in habitat fragmentation.
- the distinctiveness of the settlements of Fishbourne and Bosham would be lost
