Support to change AL4

I am fully supportive of the removal of the field to the West of Madgwick Lane from the current Strategic Site Allocation for several reasons:
- The amount of new building already in Westhampnett has significantly increased traffic and at peak times the village is overrun and extremely busy - this is before completion of the 300 dwellings at Madgwick Park - further development would amount to gridlock.
- There are no new resources - i.e. schools/doctors for the new dwelling built and being built so further building would exacerbate these issues.
- Westhampnett was always to have it's own identity from Chichester and retaining some greenfield space ensures this.
- Cityscape from the North would not be further damaged.
- As a Westhampnett resident on certain days when Goodwood is operating track racing noise is already an issue further away than the field - using a garden on those days closer to the track would be impossible.
