Representation Summary:

Consideration should be given to protecting the marine environment off of Selsey, one of the most diverse and production rich marine habitats in southern Britain!

In the 20 years I have lived in Sesley the decline in mammals, birds, insects and marine life is horrifying and this is a direct result of over development. This over development has been allowed and overseen by various MP’s and councillors over the years and it is really quite disgraceful.

Full text:

A disproportionate amount of building has already taken place on the Manhood Peninsular and in Selsey, in particular, already. This has damaged every aspect of this part of West Sussex. The strain on facilities, roads, etc has reached breaking point. One of best areas for wildlife in West Sussex has been very badly affected to the detriment of said wildlife. Noise and light pollution is at an all-time high. It is not enough now to say large scale projects will paused for now. All but the most essential development should be stopped completely for the foreseeable future.

Also, consideration should be given to protecting the marine environment off of Selsey, one of the most diverse and production marine habitats in southern Britain!
