As a Parish Counsellor having been very much involved with the Southbourne Neighbourhood Plan, originally said to be valid through to 2029, but now to 2035, I am horrified, indeed appalled, that this 6 year review is proposing an additional housing allocation of 1,250 homes, which is nearly four times the original 350 in the original Neighbourhood Plan.

I am very anti this review/imposition and also very much against any grade 1 or 2 agricultural land being used for building land, as the need for home-grown food is likely to escalate with population increase and/or possible importation difficulties. In other words it should be regarded as a strategic resource.
Furthermore it has to be borne in mind that inescapably there are Limits to Growth in a finite World. In this respect it appears that from Southampton to Brighton the coastal area is turning into one long traffic-ridden conurbation. This worries and horrifies me, as to where the future for our young people, and the natural world, is heading.
