In December 2012, Croudace Homes submitted a planning application to build 425 homes to the west of Sherfield Park, on Razor’s Farm. This development will offer local residents:
· LOTS of extra traffic through Sherfield Park and Chineham
· NO new educational facilities
· NO new medical facilities
Sherfield Park already has problems with narrow roads that were never designed for significant parking and through traffic, particularly during rush hours.
The imminent opening of the access to Sherfield Park from Cufaude will increase through traffic from the Chineham Business Park to the A33. Development on Razor’s Farm will compound this problem, on a route that Croudace have already described as “tortuous”.
The development of Razor’s Farm may also trigger the consequential development of the proposed Chineham railway station and car park on woodland sites along both sides of Cufaude Lane. This woodland forms an important ‘green barrier’ and its destruction will represent a further blurring of historic local boundaries and the permanent loss of land with natural amenity value and wildlife. Razor’s Farm would be a less obtrusive location for the station, being more appropriately linked to the commercial uses on the Chineham business park.
SARF believe that the proposed development of Razor’s Farm must be opposed by the residents of Sherfield Park and North Chineham because:
1. It will create an unacceptable and potentially dangerous increase in traffic through Sherfield Park (and to a lesser extent through north Chineham)
2. It contains no provision for the development of much needed medical or educational facilities
3. The site is more appropriate for the future development of the Chineham railway station and would avoid the consequential loss of woodland on Cufaude Lane.
YOU MUST ACT NOW TO STOP THIS DEVELOPMENT
Sherfield on Loddon Parish Council, Chineham Parish Council and Bramley Parish Council all oppose the development of Razor’s Farm, but they need our help to show public support for their views.

Reaching one hundred signatures signals that our neighbors recognize the gravity of this development plan. It is encouraging to see this level of shared concern regarding the future of our local landscape.

Reaching this level of support indicates that our community recognizes the genuine risk this development poses to our local infrastructure. It is clear that the concern regarding traffic and the preservation of our green spaces is shared far more broadly than I initially anticipated.

No doctors for 400 new homes?? How are we meant to get appointments now?? Crazy.
Developers just want the money they dont care about the people living here already. Fix the infrastructure before building more houses.
Ridiculous. Sherfield Park can't handle this much extra traffic. Put the houses somewhere else.
425 homes and zero schools or doctors?? Absolute joke. Where are these people supposed to go?
Traffic is bad enough as it is. We dont need more cars clogging up the streets. STOP THIS.

The roads around here are already a nightmare during school drop off. This is just asking for a serious accident.
