Chidham & Hambrook has been misrepresented as a service village. The criteria used is flawed. There is no convenience store, medical services, recreation ground, sports facilities unlike Fishbourne and Bosham. 300 houses is not moderate growth. It increases the population by 30% there are minimal existing facilities to expand and there is no provision in this plan for increased public transport options. Its just left to the private sector to provide, a sector whose aim is to make a profit. There is no bus service north to south and the east/west bus service has been cut to 2 an hour.
To redefine the service village criteria.
To reduce the housing to both these villages.

The villages between Chichester and Southbourne are not suitable locations for high levels of housing. 300 houses in both C & H and Bosham are not moderate levels of growth and will increase the population by an unacceptable percentage. We contend that C & H is not a service village as it does not have facilities of an every day nature. There is a confusion here between Chidham and Hambrook and Nutbourne and Hambrook as mentioned elsewhere in the Plan. This needs to be clarified. Building of this magnitude in both these villages will be contrary to other policies e.g Spatial Strategy, use of agricultural land, air quality, environment, landscape view, AONB etc.
Reduce the number of houses and divert them to other areas and settlement hubs with greater infrastructure.
Small levels of growth because of limited facilities.
