I wish to comment on the above proposals, we all accept that there has to be new housing built but this has to be in line with existing guidelines and rules.
My understanding is that Birdham is a 'settlement village' and should therefore see only modest development of small pockets of 25 odd houses, of which there are two very good examples near the petrol station.
There is no way there should be plans for anything larger than that.
I also question the communications network, without doubt Covid 19 has made more people drive cars than before, the A286 south of the A27 is now at a virtual standstill in the rush hours, which seem to be extending, I doubt that the utilities, particularly sewage could process large developments and I do have concerns about the risk of flooding in this area.
