I understand that you are considering permitting further large scale development in Birdham village.

You accepted our recent Neighbourhood Plan which, I think, covered our obligations as a village until 2021
with ongoing development in the village as I write.

There have been no improvements in the local infrastructure since our plan was delivered to accommodate
the expansion of the village which has already happened much less the proposed future expansion.

The village school is still full, traffic on the road still backs up behind a single cyclist and comes to a halt in
a long queue where the Selsey road joins the Birdham road & again at the Stockbridge roundabout, never
mind the summer traffic to & fro from the beach.

We still have flooding locally including at Whitehouse farm where, I understand, you may consider a major
housing development and sewage still bubbles up from manholes in the village after heavy rain.

You classify Birdham as a Settlement village, therefore not suitable for large scale development such as you
threaten and I agree with that classification. I object to your proposal for all the reasons I have listed.
