If the Government housing targets have to be met we suggest the identification of a location inland from the coast which would allow a "small new town" development with all services - schools, shops, medical facilities, etc. Consideration should be given to developing the redundant Mountfield Gypsum mine site, including below ground development, which is on a bus route and is close to the A21 ; and the reopening of Mountfield Station (rather than building a new one at Upper Wilting). This would allow green space between urban centres to be better protected in all our interests. If Pebsham Countryside Park is to be overlooked by an 800 house development it can hardly call itself a park or recreation facility away from a town or urban surround.
