Representation Summary:

Against any large scale housing development in Fishbourne.

Full text:

I am strongly against further large scale housing development in Fishbourne. The only identified site in the village is Bethwines Farm, which would endanger Fishbourne's identity as a separate village, moving towards an urban corridor between Chichester and Havant. Fishbourne has, over recent years, accepted many more new houses than could be expected, and it is time to call a halt. I object to large scale housing development in Fishbourne for all the reasons given already by Fishbourne Parish Council, and especially because of inadequate infrastructure. In particular, the A27 and the A259 are already congested for large parts of each day, and smaller country roads are increasingly being used as rat runs, making the unpleasant for local users, especially cyclists and walkers.
