Thakeham Homes proposes 54 new homes on allocated land off The Causeway in Petersfield.

But some local residents feel their concerns about the proposed development are not being heard.

People who live close to the site are worried about flooding and how new traffic calming measures along The Causeway could add congestion and affect safety.

Their district councillor John Hutchinson has taken-up their cause.

He and seven local residents spoke to Shine Radio's Stephen Martin to explain why they believe their knowledge of the community is not being sufficiently acknowledged by the developer.

We also hear from Thakeham Homes director Tristan Robinson who responds to the residents' points and answers their questions.
