Paragraph 9.34
The phasing of development along the A21 towards the latter part of the plan is unjustified as the Council offers no evidence to suggest that the A21 as existing is not capable of accommodating any additional development. Should the Council wish to pursue a stringent phasing for developments along the A21, this must be supported by robust highways evidence (as is the case at North Bexhill) which demonstrates that developments should be phased. Such an approach will have significant implications for the Council's development strategy for the rural areas given that Robertsbridge, the main service centre, is itself located on the A21. It is noted in Box 17, that only developments at Hurst Green and Filmwell are intended to be phased for the later part of the plan, this needs to be made clear throughout the document.
