Reading the policy document I see that the guidelines to be followed mention design, sustainability ,retention of historic settlements , wildlife corridors etc . Ie all the things we would hope would be included in any new developments. Unfortunately it would seem to me that none of this has been followed in recent new housing introduced to the area . I live in Chidham which has been swamped by new housing none of which appear to have “green credentials “ . There has been no increase in infrastructure , and only lip service has been given to “affordable housing requirements “ I can’t see this changing as so called “ housing developers “ will merely rush to cover areas with as many identikit houses as possible . Until such companies show an interest in such matters as carbon emissions , nature conservancy and heaven forbid thoughtful design and councils show some interest in enhancing the local environment for both existing and new residents (including wild flora and fauna) I can only imagine that the rollout of a succession of soul destroying housing will continue . I do hope I am wrong
