I live in Prinsted which is part of Southbourne Parish Council area. My comments for the supposed 1250 houses to be built are.
1) Will the A259 be able to cope with the amount of traffic for that amount of houses. There are many being built along the Southbourne stretch of the A259 at the time of writing and there is already concern about them.
2) There needs to be some kind of focal centre for new development i.e. around a village green. Which would have a community centre and doctors surgery as the surgery at the moment is not in a good place for the village.
3) Transport needs to be considered more buses more trains stopping at the station.
4) There may need to be more local shops with good parking.
5) Leisure facilities for both young children and teenagers.
6) Leisure facilities for the older residents.
7) Green open spaces within these developments.
8) The houses should not be spread around but in one area to help create a centre this would work well in the area of the Bourne leisure centre.
9) A local bus that serves the area not just along the A259
10) Village allotments.
