Respondent: Mr John Wolfenden

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

‘One village’ soundbite marketing slogan is a poor representation of what is really going on. You are proposing to double the population of ‘the village’ by compulsory purchase, not by consensus. You leave a historic ‘village’ in a worse position than when you started. It is no longer a ‘village’ overnight you are making a heartless ‘Hub’ of two distinct and unintegrated settlements.
Your plan fails to even integrate roads! It destroys ponds, natural habitats and veteran trees. It ignores the recommendations of the Tangmere Conservation Plan 2014.

Change suggested by respondent:

You need to provide a plan that is designed to integrate not over power and override the existing community.
Take note of lack of facilities and infrastructure in the existing ‘village.
Preservation of the local heritage.
Keep the pond, move the cycle path.
Keep the veteran tree, move the cycle path.
Maintain the wildlife habitats, move the cycle path.
There are many such unnecessary actions that this plan proposes, that could be vastly improved.
The unsustainable increased of traffic flows along the narrowest of roads ‘Tangmere High Street’ is a planning failure, this CPO authorises such destruction. A new road is required.
