Protect Our Woodland
And to save West Durrington from over development.
Despite what the developers are saying, their new
planning application for West Durrington will have a massive impact on the area.
Countryside scenes similar to the one on the left will be replaced by roads,
traffic, over 1200 houses and utility buildings. Gone the
bird song, dormouse and badger with residents of
Durrington seeing a suburb rise on what is now woodland, hedgerow and meadow.
The rural feel of Durrington, Titnore Lane, the ancient woodlands and all the wildlife in the area are so important that we must stop this over development of Durrington. Even if protection of the countryside is not your number one concern please consider this:
Construction of this massive extension to Durrington (see plan) will take over 5 years and that will mean your life will be turned upside down. Roads such as Adur Avenue, Fulbeck Avenue and Tasman Way will be dug up so that new large capacity water and sewage pipes can be laid. All over Durrington the noise and fumes from the thousands of heavy lorry trips carrying building materials to the site and then removing waste will effectively be like living on a building site. This surely will be an unacceptable impact on your every day life.
We therefore believe that nothing less than a Public Inquiry is needed to examine this new application. However for that to be achieved there are a number of urgent things to be done, such as:
a) Letters have to be written (samples and addresses later) by each and everyone of us to Worthing Borough Council, local papers, and if you live within his constituency, Peter Bottomley MP. These letters must contain your name and address.
b) Visit town councilors at their surgery's and also make an appointment to see the MP at his town center office.
c) Let your neighbours know what's going on, they may not have internet or read papers etc.
d) Deliver leaflets in your area.
