I am writing to express my concern with the draft Local Plan.

As a resident and home-owner residing in Bridhm I am distressed to see that areas of the surrounding farmland are being considered for large scale development.

As I am sure you are aware, the local infrastructure is already under strain with volumes of traffic far above those sustainable on the panisual and regular flooding / drainage issues prevalent across the village. Any development in or around the Birdham would only serve to exacerbate these problems.
