Draft Interim Policy Statement for Housing Development

Representation ID: 3583

Received: 08/07/2020

Respondent: Mr Barry Reedman

Representation Summary:

As a resident of 21 years whose house fronts onto Main Road we have taken the brunt of traffic on what is a narrow single lane highway. The thought of 250 houses being built on farmland to the south, is devastating , to myself and my neighbours.
The village school I am informed is at full capacity and the drainage system simple would not cope under storm conditions. My home flooded 8 years ago ,it was caused by the drainage system being overwhelmed .

Please accept this as a plea to reject this application and any future applications of this magnitude in Birdham.
