The allocation of this site for the proposed use is entirely wrong. The evidence provided in the Plan Review - Preferred Approach and many of the accompanying documents show that it will be impossible to develop this area within the specified constraints (ie protection of views, countryside impact, protection of AONB and SPA, avoidance of development of flood risk areas, protection of historic landscapes, effect on wildlife habitat, nitrate escape into Chichester Harbour, and more). Industrial units on this site will be a landscape disaster. The proposed Stockbridge link road will totally blight the landscape and it is beyond all sense to suggest that its £18m-plus cost (or should it still be £38m, given the lack of explanation of the "assumptions" reducing that figure?) "has the potential to be funded for the majority of its length by the associated private development" (PBA Transport Study). This road and associated development has been rejected before; it should not have been included this time around (much waste of time and money) and should be rjected again.
