1250 houses will destroy the 'village feel' of Southbourne, which is one of the main reason for residents enjoying living here. If the residents wanted to live in a town they would have bought houses in an existing urban area. Southbourne has already taken an extra 500+ houses which were agreed as part of the recent neighbourhood plan. Stein Road is more and more crowded and the delays at the level crossing are increasing. Any new housing should not be accessed via Stein Road to preserve the existing residents' quality of life in the village.
