Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 581

Received: 30/01/2019

Respondent: Benedict Broad

Representation Summary:

The proposal for 200 additional houses represents a grossly disproportionate development for Hunston. It will alter the ethos of the village irreparably, turning it from rural dwelling to a conurbation of Chichester. The B2145 is entirely unable to accommodate the sheer volume of traffic to which it is already subjected; noise and air pollution levels are concerning. Hunston's label as 'service village' is a disservice for a village with a close community of people. The proposal feels arbitrary in its nature, and as such the reasons for objection are broad.
