Received: 02/02/2019

Respondent: Dr Lesley Bromley

Representation Summary:

This land is unsuitable for this development for several reasons. 1. Much of it is on or below the 5 meter contour and is vulnerable to sea level rise. 2. It abuts onto the Chichester harbour AONB and will have adverse effects in terms of 'Dark Skies' and habitat for wildlife. The raised link road will destroy the views of the Cathedral from the AONB. The land is already damp and would require extensive mitigation in terms of the policy for houses vulnerable to flooding which is lively to make development uneconomic
