The peace and natural beauty of Goring-by-Sea, Worthing, in West Sussex are under threat due to proposed plans to develop 475 homes on the land North West of Goring Railway Station, also known as Chatsmore Farm. The proposed development is on land adjacent to the main road linking Goring-by-Sea to Rustington. Therefore, we feel this project would lead to an increase in congestion, significantly disturbing the local transport infrastructure which already struggles to serve the existing population. Not to mention, this pristine green space is home to local natural biodiversity, which would be severely damaged by such a vast development. The peace and tranquillity enjoyed by the local community would be markedly interrupted and the quality of life potentially diminished. We advocate for sensible development, but believe this project will prove detrimental to the interests of the local community. It seems to us that the effects this development would have upon the local area has not been considered properly, and we are worried that our local infrastructure (such as our schools, hospitals, GP services, etc.) would not be able to sustain the increased demands that this housing development would bring. In a time when our natural environments are shrinking, it is crucial to protect our green spaces. We hereby urge the local authorities to revise this plan and explore alternatives which are less disruptive to our community and environment. Please sign this petition to protect the Chatsmore Farm, one of the few wonderful green spaces left in the local area.
