-Nature professionals view long narrow corridors flanked by urbanisation and busy roads as only paying lip service, being harmful rather than beneficial. Wide corridors are preferable.Nature is not served by corridors drawn on maps following roads and railway lines
-The proposed corridor W of Chichester from Fishbourne along the S bend in the A27 to Hunters Race and Lavant, as well as that arbitrarily shown W of Oving and Tangmere along a stretch of the A27 and motor circuit/aerodrome buildings and New Road/Claypit Lane crossing are cases in point
-There could also be E to W corridors
