Respondent: Rother and Hastings CPRE

Is the Baldslow Link critical to Rother per se? CPRE does not believe that the Bexhill Hastings Link Road (BHLR) is critical either, since it would introduce very significant environmental damage and is being promoted solely in our view to create a new development boundary. It is however critical because of the loss and environmental harm it would cause.
The trap into which this para has fallen is to believe that the housing is dependent on the BHLR. The BHLR is being in fact used as a pretext for designating an area for development.
