Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Any development South of A27 at Donnington/Apuldram/Fishbourne is at risk of flooding. It is on the Lavant flood plain

5.64
We support strategic wildlife corridors. However the one in Fishbourne has already been desecrated by Whitehouse Farm and development on Clay Lane. We propose a new one running from Chichester Harbour through Beth wins Farm to the South Downs. This will require planting and developing.

5.72
We support this. We do not support on site systems. We are opposed to any new connections to the Apuldram Waterworks.

6.37 to 6.43 and AL5
We support this but feel it needs to be extended to include the railway and other buildings. It requires an extension to the station with an additional platform and line for a Metro service.
There needs to be a multi use building for concerts, conferences, exhibitions and community activity.

All waste water must be pumped to TANGMERE.
We need to include suitable housing for young people. Employment sites for entrepreneurs. A link to the gigabyte project.

6.44 to 6.49 Policy AL6
NOTE This is Apuldram/Donnington AND Fishbourne

Fishbourne Parish boundary is Lavant River

We oppose this. No development should be undertaken in this area. It is in the Lavant flood plain.
No additional housing
No Commercial sites
We object to the relief road.
All employment land MUST be relocated to the Goodwood Aerodrome site.
This site is too close to the AONB on a flood plain and the relief road would affect the landscape and views.
An additional road onto the Fishbourne Roundabout will add to the traffic being projected onto the roundabout with development in Southbourne, Chidham/Hambrook, Bosham and Fishbourne.

6.50 to 6.56 Policy AL7

This is a sensitive site close to the harbour and exposed. Any development must be supported by planting and screening.

If this site is developed we support the relocating of the school with sufficient parking.

Any development must include cycle routes and recreational space. We also recommend a new cricket pitch.

Out of choice we would not develop this site.

6.62 to 6.65 Policy AL9

Fishbourne has had significant development in recent years. An additional 250 houses need to find a sustainable location. The area on Clay lane has now potentially been removed by the sudden imposition of a Wildlife Corridor. We support Wildlife Corridors but this one is in an area where development has already taken place and was being proposed by CDC.

Development on Bethwins Farm is hugely damaging to the village and encroaches on Bosham. It is not supported by the village. It removed important farm land and separates the Harbour from the South Downs. No other land has been identified as deliverable.
We propose that this 250 houses is reduced to a more manageable level in consultation with the Parish Council
