Sustainable progress requires guiding principles for future development which should be integral to planning, management and promotion.

Tourism should reflect the character of the place it is sited however no element of the environment should automatically be seen as static. Just as tourism should adapt to the environment in certain areas, so elsewhere it may be appropriate to adapt the environment to accommodate tourism.

The response to out-commuting should be dictated by sustainability. Improvements to public transport would permit increased out-commuting to Hastings from Bexhill for example though not many residents would regard such travel to work as out-commuting.
