I am writing to express my concern over the contents of the above and the fact there seems to be an intention to build alot of houses in the area. I live in Fishbourne and would want it to keep a distinct separate village identity and not merge into the boundaries of Bosham or Chichester.

Additionally I want to keep Bethwines as a productive farm, and not have it built upon.

We need to preserve all the green space we have and continue to look after and not ruin our environment otherwise there will be impact/effect on :

Nature/wildife
Lack of suitable infrastructure
Loss of valuable farmland
Noise/pollution concerns
Overcrowding in the village
Local schools (this is already the case - I live opposite Fishbourne Primary School and could not get my children into it)
Flood risk due to loss of natural drainage
Detriment to the rural character of the village identity
Traffic concerns especially A259, Salthill Road, Clay Lane, Blackboy Lane
