As a resident of Birdham village I must strongly object to any further proposed housing development in the area.
Birdham is a quintessential English village of a design that is fast disappearing from our landscape. I believe the Council and indeed all of us have a moral duty to protect it and others like It, to preserve our culture and heritage not just for now but for future generations.
Apart from the moral aspect there are other important issues to consider. The infrastructure in all aspects is woefully inadequate to support further development. The damage to wildlife and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty would be immeasurable and lost for ever.
When reviewing the Local Plan I would urge Chichester District Council to consider the serious impact any further development would have on Birdham village.
