The over-reliance of development in the east-west corridor risks delivering unsustainable levels of housing on unwilling communities - particularly between Chichester and Emsworth to the west of the city.
Reduction in the housing allocation, particularly the distribution along the boundary of the Chichester Harbour AONB.
The over-reliance of development in the east-west corridor risks delivering unsustainable levels of housing on unwilling communities - particularly between Chichester and Emsworth to the west of the city. The proposed delivery of 3,225 houses in this area (1,600 west of Chichester, 1,050 Southbourne, 245 Bosham, 300 Chidham & Hambrook, 30 Fishbourne) cannot be reconciled with the objectives of conserving local distinctiveness, character and cohesion of settlements. The infrastructure to support this level of development is simply not in place, and is unlikely to be through the Plan duration (particularly waste water treatment, roads, doctors, schools). The proposed levels of development are disproportionate to the size of the existing settlements, and therefore will be default alter their character immeasurably.

The Council’s acknowledgment of the site’s location, situated within the best location for transport connections, is welcomed. The site should therefore be considered suitable for delivering economic growth, comprising increased production, processing, storage and distribution of products to the rest of the UK as well as internationally. This is as a result of site’s proximity to the A27 and subsequent ease of access to the rest of the County’s nationally significant highway network..

The A27 is nothing but a huge barrier preventing the communities from accessing their city and its amenities and creating gridlock at the roundabouts.
The A259 is under growing stress from the rise in households along its length making accessing the A27 at Fishbourne roundabout a daily hazard.
The air pollution levels rise, the buildings suffer from heavy vehicles, and the designated national path of Emperor’s Way taking walkers to and from the Marshes to the village is a daily stressful safety hazard. The 30mph is regularly ignored and because the village is approached through a bend the pedestrians are out of sight until too late. .
The A259 is also the relief road for when the major strategic road A27 is blocked.
