Representation ID: 2738

Received: 07/02/2019

Respondent: Boxgrove Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Until infrastructure has been addressed, CDC should not accept additional housing.

Full text:

Given that no work has been undertaken to relieve the existing over-stretched infrastructure for the developments already granted permission, Boxgrove Parish Council is at a loss to understand how CDC can contemplate increasing the annual quota of 435 homes per annum to an astounding 601.
The original quota of 435 was not increased at the time BECAUSE the inspector agreed that the infrastructure then could not cope with more. Nothing has changed since then. Added to this the recent disastrous loss of Government funding to mitigate the conditions on the A27 will guarantee grid-lock and misery for the entire district for years to come. This will not help businesses within the Chichester district.
Clearly without supporting infrastructure all the added schools, doctors' surgeries, sports' facilities, not to mention the hospitals, will have an added strain with which they will not be able to cope.
CDC should not accept this increase in housing until the infrastructure has been addressed. Furthermore, this acceptance of higher numbers has seen CDC allocating numbers of homes far in excess of those agreed in made neighbourhood plans and in those already submitted.

Refuse the increased numbers until the infrastructure proposals have been implemented.
