As a longstanding resident of Birdham I am horrified to learn that CDC have already identified a site, a greenfield site, opposite the Birdham Stores, as suitable for a 250 strong housing development. This will increase the size of the village by over a third and change the character of Birdham for ever.
The problem of the congestion on the roads, and flooding in the area, are well documented. The infrastructure cannot cope with huge developments. I ask you to please reconsider your proposal, and if necessary, look at brownfield sites with smaller numbers of dwellings.
