I disagree strongly with the suggestion of a further large housing development in Birdham and specifically at Whitehouse farm which floods regularly.

Birdham is classified by yourselves as a Settlement village which should spare it from disproportionally large development.

In addition the infrastructure of the Manhood peninsula has been neglected for years:

Birdham school is full & Crooked lane is blocked twice a day by parents leaving & collecting their children.

The main road is inadequate for the traffic load it is required to take. As a minimum it requires a cycle lane in each direction but better yet would be a
moratorium on further development south of the A27 until a scheme to separate north/south and east/west traffic on the A27 was up & running or a northern
Chichester bypass had been built.

Both surface & waste water drainage is poor. In Court Barn lane, at the bottom of our garden, sewage bubbles out of the drain covers after heavy rain.

I think it is disgraceful that our village plan, 2 years in preparation, is discarded as out of date after 2 years.
