Birdham has a similar level of services and facilities (as defined in paragraph 4.12), to those found in the identified Service Villages of Bosham, Fishbourne and Hambrook/Nutbourne. Moreover, Birdham has a greater level of services/facilities than those in the other identified Service Village of Hunston (please see attached Settlement Comparison table).
The Service Village of Birdham should therefore be considered as a larger more sustainable settlement suitable for a greater proportion of new residential development and should be included in the list of Service Villages identified in Policy S3.
