We absolutely support your policy NE4 regarding strategic wildlife corridors. But the Parish Council thinks the wildlife corridors should be expanded upon in future to be more effective and be sacrosanct and preserved in perpetuity. Natural England has advised that wildlife corridors should be 100m wide. Connectivity for wildlife should not be interrupted between the AONB of Chichester Harbour and the South Downs National Park and that connectivity is essential to the health of both of those areas.
