Options 1 and 2 ignore the possibility of development on the Hastings Fringes.

Option 3 takes advantage of the location close to the Link Road. Option 3 would allow smaller scale development at Bexhill, retaining its local character, and would support Hastings’ character as a larger urban centre. Option 3 supports the Hastings/Bexhill Taskforce’s aims.

Land use should be guided by transport, allowing improved links by non-car modes, and the creation of sustainable communities, locating development close to local facilities.

The clear allocation of large-scale development is more beneficial than ad hoc development which could gradually erode local character.
