Notwithstanding this aim, the NE Parishes have housing allocated not because of identified need but, apparently, to ‘make up the numbers’.
Further, it is evident from details in the Infrastructure Development Plan that infrastructure improvements are focused around Chichester. Apart from St Richards Hospital in Chichester, the majority of WG residents do not look to the Chichester for services. Primarily as a result of the SDNP splitting Chichester District, the northern parishes are remote from Chichester.

The rural character of Wisborough Green, a jewel of a village within the whole of Chichester District, cannot be maintained if:
- new housing numbers are allocated that increase the village size by double-digit percentages.
- sites identified within the HELAA ignore the unique nature of the village.
- there is an expectation that local communities become more self-reliant to meet their local needs.
This statement is in direct conflict with 2.27.
The maintenance of the rural character of the parishes within the NE is essential.

Support – WGPC supports this approach but questions how it could be applied to Wisborough Green. Wisborough Green is a rural village, surrounded by designated sites rich in biodiversity. Building on greenfield sites in this location will not achieve gains, net or otherwise.

Support – WGPC supports this approach but questions how it could be applied to Wisborough Green. WGPC has concerns that the claims made will be neither addressed nor achieved in Wisborough Green:
- Public or sustainable transport
- Education places
- Healthcare provision
- Water supply
- Wastewater treatment capacity
-
Within the plan it states that Loxwood, Plaistow and Ifold and Wisborough Green are served by the Loxwood WTW. Kirdford is served by the Kirdford WTW. This is incorrect. Wisborough Green has its own WTW.

It should be noted that the 2011 Census for Wisborough Green found that 7.15% (only 43 out of 601 households) did not have a car or van which demonstrates reliance upon private vehicles.
