CDC would appear to be proposing 30% more homes which would compromise leaving a natural strategic gap between the current development and the village of Tangmere. Specifically, the are of Saxon meadow and the church forms a natural and historical barrier that conserves a band of bio-diverse old countryside. Without this, wildlife, ecosystems, and the identity of a village with intact historical boundaries, buildings, aesthetics and air force history would be endangered and become part of an unstoppable sprawl continuous with Chichester. This would also negatively effect the value of my property. It could also negatively impact my health due to increased air pollution, loss of exercise and recreation space and increased light pollution.
No development on land owned or in current use by residents of Saxon Meadow - plot 9 and 7. Particularly the field west of Saxon Meadow. Limited development on other areas. To make it legally compliant and sound a suggestion is:
Increased level of consultation with the residents of Saxon meadow. Otherwise adequate engagement with the public is not being fulfilled.
