If students are to stay in the city to contribute economically and we are to attract young families, Chichester has to be a young person and young family friendly city with appropriate leisure, recreational and entertainment opportunities and affordable housing within the city to eliminate the need for a car. Other than the theatre there is no performing arts facility outside the University in Chichester and minimal late night facilities.

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.

The changes proposed do not relate to this paragraph. The suggested change has also been recorded against the relevant policies – S1, S2 and responded to there

We support every effort to improve air quality. Include Ultra Low Emission Zones. Use of car pooling.
Air quality will be reduced by the increased volume of traffic on the A27 before any upgrades can be implemented because engine idling will be increased.
The siting of 2000 new homes along the A259 corridor and the increase in traffic will impact in air quality. This cannot be mitigated. It will deter those who wish to walk or cycle if they are breathing in fumes from cars. The only way this policy can be achieved is if there is a decrease in cars using our roads. And without frequent bus and train services at affordable levels of cost, this will not happen.

Impacts from planned development were considered as part of the Sustainability Appraisal. The suite of transport policies include a number of measures to mitigate/reduce car travel.

.If this is the case, then development should be refused. There can be no mitigation for increased pollution. The A259 corridor, with an increase of 2000 homes will have higher levels of pollution, mostly from increased use of cars. This will affect air quality and it has been proven to create more lung disease in all ages of people..

Pollution effects from planned development are considered as part of the Sustainability Appraisal. Any new proposals for development will need to meet the criteria in Policy NE22 Air Quality

.This should be expanded to include noise assessment caused by additional traffic on our road networks and measures implemented to measure this.

Paragraph 4.134 refers to a noise impact assessment being required for residential and other noise sensitive development proposals located in close proximity to noise sources, including transport. Any existing development affected by road noise from traffic would already have mitigation measures in place

We consider the distances from fluvial waters and tidal waters (8m and 16m) to be insufficient.

These distances are derived from the legislation. The Council does not have a justification for seeking to impose greater distances, nor what those distances would entail

This policy is of the utmost importance. Chichester Harbour is in decline and the AONB needs to be conserved. How is the setting of the AONB defined? What would exceptional circumstances be? We feel that this is too loose an expression and provides a get out for developers?

If there are problems these are more likely agricultural rather than industrial.

This is all very fine but the volume and location of housing will make these aims impossible to achieve.
