The current allocated site is of reasonable size but the extension all the way to the Drayton road is a massive and significant extension of Chichester that is not acceptable. It is essential that an adequate green gap is kept between Chichester and Oving village and this would not safeguard this.
It is also worth pointing out that not all wildlife refuges are in parks and gardens and the long disused gravel pit/landfill site is an important wildlife habitat that should remain undisturbed and protected.

6.24. Add after first sentence: "Development on this site will need to take account of and be integrated with the existing permitted site." This would be consistent with the approach taken for Bosham in para 6.54.
6.27. Note comments on para 4.85 regarding Primary education facilities.

I am only supporting the development of this site for housing if it is really unavoidable to have more housing developments on the edge of Chichester (and in Oving Parish). Of all available sites this seems to me to be the most suitable. Wildlife corridors linking the South Downs and Pagham Harbour
are important as well as footpaths/cycle routes that can be safely used to access all areas, not just for recreation but for routes into Chichester and out to the surrounding villages and countryside.

Insufficient evidence provided describing the means for improving local air quality which must mitigate pollution sources introduced through an increasing local population, principally from increasing vehicle numbers introduced to the site, and increased incidences of standing traffic due to local vehicle network restrictions.
Insufficient detail of further local amenity improvements presented, which should include: dental practice with NHS provision, GP surgery with NHS provision, multiple safe pedestrian access routes to the City and Portfield areas, safe cycle routes to the City and Oving village, convenience store, childrens' play areas, sports activities area, pet exercise areas, public transport infrastructure, and allotments.
