I've literally just heard about this! I live opposite and would have a lot of concerns about increase in noise, traffic, light pollution, litter and impact on our tiny lane which is already under strain at times from event traffic. Noise also carries easily and we have two bedrooms which would be opposite the site. We also run a livery yard with 7 horses and riders who regularly use the two paths that run along side the proposed site and the horses would be bothered by noise and traffic. The fields are very visible from the pathways. I'm sure now they know about it, the horse riders will have strong views on this. The owners, who we all know well, haven't consulted us or mentioned this to any of us which is unusual practice. We're a small group of houses here and we all moved here for peace and quiet and unspoiled nature. There is also a small house called Meadowsweet which would be seriously affected by this and is occupied by a single, elderly lady, so this doesn't seem very considerate.

I live opposite Artelium, both their drive and fields, at Blair Court. The small poster at the entrance is the first I had heard of this proposal. It is difficult to comment without any information! The poster says all correspondence to Eoodland Champions. I would like to be consulted about the location, (mine and other houses are close by), what it will look like from the road and two footpaths, what the expected maximum capacity at its full development will be in terms of people (noise travels in this quiet residential village) and a big concern is added traffic eg people coming and leaving znd eg bin lorries, deliveries taxis etc. Some of the events eg dj led evenings are very loud and we also have at present I would say up to .maximum capacity reached for such a small narrow (in parts) village road with traffic of taxis, and weekly Biffa waste trucks that I am concerned that what may start as one unit will extend to say 5 or 10, with a log of human and other noise. The fields which adjoin Streat Lane I would argue are not at all suitable for a glampsite as bordered by houses to the west, north and east (mine). Also it will spoil the beautiful natural amenity of the footpaths which are very well used by locals and visitors.I live opposite Artelium, both their drive and fields, at Blair Court.

On behalf of Streat Parish Committee:

We are writing to request a moratorium on the very recently issued Exemption Certificate for this application which we understand was issued on Thursday 24 July. We are requesting this for the following reasons:

1) There are considerable local concerns about the overall plan for tourist accommodation at this site, as well as the number of units permitted by the WCC exemption, and also the siting and and visual impact of the proposed caravan/s in relation to the adjoining popular foot/cycle/bridlepath and nearby houses.
2) The 'consultation notice' posted at the site stated no cut-off date for comments, nor is this specified on the application on the WCC website
3) We are unclear on which date the consultation notice was posted at the property, but it certainly only came to locals' attention in the last several days, hence not allowing sufficient time to understand the application, its impact, and to consult with other neighbours/residents and the applicant.

We see from the WCC website that the consultation period may be up to 2 months. We would therefore be grateful for a further 21 days to gauge and address local concerns, and to liaise with the applicant.

As an abutting landowner ( of the protected woodland to the north and west of the site ) I have not been informed by Artelium of any proposed venture, structure or change of use to their site. In the absence of such due process which in itself is worrying, I have many concerns regarding the effect on the surrounding ancient woodland and ecosystem. There will no doubt be increased light and noise pollution and I would question how many cabins are proposed for this site. Also is it proposed that guests would have access by car & if so what does this involve.? … also how can this venture proceed without planning permission when it will clearly be visible from the South Downs which is a national park and as such has strict planning laws and restrictions.
