Representation Summary:

The town of Bexhill is the main centre in Rother District. Bexhill is predominantly residential in character, although it has an established employment, shopping and service centre role. The extent of the town's role as a service centre is influenced by the nearby larger towns of Hastings and Eastbourne. In this regard, at Question 15, our client considers that directing development to Bexhill and the fringes of Hastings (Development Option 3) would be most appropriate to maximise the towns' combined potential for regeneration, whilst maintaining their distinct identities.
