Don't build new houses in Nyetimber without updating roads first
A total of 40 new houses are already being built in Nyetimber adjacent to the shops. That means 60-plus extra cars pouring onto the road between 8am and 9am each working morning.
A planning application was also lodged for 400 more houses within the Hook Lane and Sefter Road area.

Hide AdAll these houses will have cars, probably two, some will have, in addition, a white van.
This will mean another circa-500 cars to the extras already coming from Nyetimber as there is no industry or means of occupation within Pagham, not forgetting the three buses in each direction each hour.
A bottleneck already exists at the new Chichester Free School at the top of Pagham Road, as pupils are dropped off each morning.
At the present time, there is little space along the whole of Pagham Road in Nyetimber.

Unless there is a road-widening scheme to alleviate this problem I see no sense in proceeding with more housing in this location.
