Paragraphs 2.43 – 2.45 of the draft Plan set out the reasoning, which relates to the need to protect the semi-rural nature of ‘some’ settlements and in recognition of the important wildlife habitats such as Pagham Harbour and Medmerry. These highlighted areas are subject to international wildlife designations and are very different to say our clients land at Stubcroft Farm, which has
no heightened landscape or wildlife designations. On the contrary, land at Stubcroft Farm comprises relatively ordinary open arable land, which is intensively farmed. It is not extraordinary in any form and a blanket approach suggested by the Council, highlighting landscapes or habitats of national or international importance is not reflective of the entirety of the Manhood Peninsula.
This should not be taken as a reason for not allowing further development, which is suitably located, on the Manhood Peninsula.
