Pavilion should be moved to a location where there are existing parking facilities – could be moved to the lake which would be an appropriate location to encourage water sports etc. Reduce height of pavilion and reduce number of houses. Ideally do not build houses to block view and move their location to more urban rather than semirural location of this part of Tangmere. Extend South Downs National Park to take in Tangmere and Oving.

The planned sports pavilion (please see attached map where it is marked with a blue star) and
houses will entirely block views to the South Downs as will the proposed house building. The
pavilion and houses will entirely block the view from my property that we currently enjoy of the
South Downs (see attached photo of sunset view). This will entirely alter the nature of the
conservation area around Saxon Meadow and the ambience around the historical saxon church of
St Andrews. Paragraph 10.64 is inconsistent with Policy P11 (conservation area) in this regard.
The pavilion being placed where it is and its height will impact negatively on the current
tranquillity and quietness that residents currently enjoy and is not in keeping with Policy NE24
(noise pollution). Indeed the peacefulness surrounding Saxon Meadow at the moment is important
for residents’ mental health and anti-stress stress management. One of the reasons I moved from
London was to reduce stress.
This current quiet and calmness around Saxon Meadow is in keeping with the commonwealth war
graves in the church yard of St Andrews church and I feel that it would be disrespectful to those
laying at rest to have this tranquillity destroyed. Visitors frequently visit the graves out of respect
for relatives.
I am also concerned as to where all those visiting the pavilion will park.
