Core Strategy Consultation on Strategy Directions 2008

Representation ID: 19156

Received: 26/01/2009

Respondent: Mr Nigel Jennings

Representation Summary:

Box 15 (a)(i) refers to the creation of employment floor space of 10-20,000 sq m. For Bexhill with a population 8 times that of Rye there is a need for only 60,000 sq m. I wonder therefore if the employment space is to provide for local employment or for the wider district. Is this sustainable?

I also question whether this amount of space will fit into the landscape setting of Rye.
