Without the BHLR there is no realistic prospect of providing sustainable growth on the level required by the RSS in Rother District.
The proposals for the development of the Hastings Fringes at Breadsell and Wilting are subject to varying degrees of uncertainty.
Windfall sites within Bexhill will contribute to the overall development requirement, but have not been included in the Core Strategy's estimation.
The Core Strategy claims to provide for a range of 5,600 - 5,850 dwellings, the components of supply provides a range of 5,500 - 6,000. This undershoots the requirements. Clarification is sought on the actual level of development the Core Strategy is planning for, and how the uncertainty surrounding the Hastings fringes can be managed.
