Object on grounds that Portfield Roundabout and Oving Junction have capacity issues in both 535 and 700 dwellings per annum scenarios; Council’s own highways evidence show an additional 2,970 dwellings could be accommodated in Southern Plan Area; delivery of entirety of 2,970 dwellings should be considered in context of 1) affordable housing need identified in HEDNA and 2) meeting unmet housing needs in South Downs National Park under Duty to Cooperate; evidence used to justify lower housing requirement explicitly states higher objectively assessed needs can be met; additional development in North contradicted by Transport Study; additional numbers in North unnecessary given additional capacity in A27 and lack of facilities and amenities.
