I wish to object, in the strongest possible terms to the proposal of 250+50 new homes for Highgrove Farm Bosham.

My main objection is the state , already of the ROADS! As somebody that commutes eastwards daily for work, the MISERY, and frankly, shame, which is the A27 around Chichester,and the gridlock on planning for it's re-routing cannot be stated strongly enough.

If residents attempt to go the back routes, to avoid the traffic chaos, via the Funtington Road on cold dark winter nights , they risk falling down potholes in the poorly maintained minor roads.

It is cynical of the developers, Wilson Homes to have mooted , originally, 50 houses. Everybody was well aware that this would never be restricted to 50 homes. If the field beyond Highgrove is developed, it is only a matter of time , of course, before the field on the Brooks lane side is developed --500 more?

Add to this the increased traffic associated with the newly built Hospice and we will have depressingly high levels of congestion on the roads (259 and A27) and no provision for it's alleviation; as has been excellently illustrated by the hubris associated with re-routing the A27 through Chichester.
