I do not find the Local Plan [sound] ref Policy E3 as the proposed housing development to the west of Tangmere is to be built on vital, multi-use horticultural land.
The Local Plan indicates that 67ha are deemed as required for the Tangmere and Runction area and so far only 47ha have been identified this leaving an unmet demand of 20ha.
At this time of concern for climate change, carbon footprint and national food security it is not sound to be developing valuable horticultural agricultural land for housing development.
I consider modification to the Local plan in regards to horticultural need versus housing development size and extent necessary. To review and reassess the plan so to make more horticultural land non-housing and look at alternative brownfield sites in the area.
