Recent broadsheet reports indicate that indigenous populations in the west and other countries around the world are stagnating and in some cases declining. The main driver for UK population increase appears to be from immigration. Given that immigration may now be better controlled the question is who is all this housing for? Few object to affordable housing for local people but it appears that Developers do not like building starter homes as there is a much smaller profit margin for them. We could also end up with another fiasco like Skylark Gardens in Hambrook where most people realised that the houses would not be sold privately because of the electricity pylons and they appear to have been sold to a Housing Association who may not be concerned about their occupants health. We also have the situation, despite Government reassurance that new houses would not be built in back gardens, where Hambrook appears to be exempt from this rule. So much for all the work done on the Neighbourhood Plan. To cater for another five hundred houses in Chidham and Hambrook, despite the already large number recently built, will no doubt require the use of Greenfield sites, again despite yet another pledge to the contrary made by the Government. It is therefore very hard to understand and justify the need to completely urbanise a once semi-rural and picturesque area.
