I would like to object to the proposal to build an additional 500 dwellings in Chidham and Hambrook.
This proposed development would completely destroy our semi rural and picturesque village. We have already had over 150 new homes built within the village in the past 10 years from a base of 850.
Our primary school has grown from 85 children to 210 over the same period of time. Chidham Lane at 15.10 on a school day is impassable - 200 odd mums have parked their cars outside!
If you should need to go to the Doctor you will probably have to wait for a week for an appointment.
As for our roads: Broad Rd is a narow lane, at the southern end it has cars parked both sides and the road has a slight curve on it, so driving north or south you can't see the cars coming towards you until they upon you, and they are in the middle of the road! this is an accident waiting to happen!
And you say we need more houses!
God help us if the M27 doesn't go the northern route.
In summary;
1) The School is full
2) The Doctors full
3) The Roads are full
