No further development in Birdham - impact on infrastructure, character and wildlife
As residents on Bridham Village for 20 years, we are shocked and appalled by the recent building developments in Bell Lane and Old Common Close off the A286. This feeder road itself is already inadequate for the type and volume of traffic experienced in the summer months. The sewage and other infrastructures are already overburdened.
This lovely village cannot host any more large building projects without losing something of it's character which sits so well in this AONB and harbour setting.
We have just recently had close encounters with a shellduck family with seven ducklings, deer, foxes, field mice and pigmy shrews. There are frequent visits here from the Great spotted Woodpecker and Green Woodpecker (sometimes together) and a variety of other birds.
