There needs to be a recognition that in doubling the size of a community there needs to be a funded scheme to double the infrastructure in terms of providing locational provision for community shops, an additional medical centre, for GP and Dentists, local community policing hub, multi faith places of worship, parking areas for community shops, coffee shops, laundromat for social housing, fast food dining. Traffic management plan which should include traffic lights, pedestrian crossings, provision of continuous pathways, restricted speed of traffic through the narrow Tangmere Road. This road is part of the existing Special Conservation Area and needs to be taken into account and the area protected.
The county council is the beneficiary of the CPO and needs to set these costs aside and recognise this need in the plan.

The Plan states ‘Tangmere, to the east of Chichester city, is a settlement of some 3,158 people. It hosts a number of local businesses and has some dispersed community facilities including shops and a medical centre. However, it currently lacks many of the amenities and services normally associated with a settlement of its size.’ The plan does not address these issues and proposes to double the size of the community without an appropriate infrastructure.
