We are supportive of the option based on Service Centre Role for the reasons stated in the document. We also support the statement that this should be taken as a starting point as this will allow variations in both market circumstances and capacity particularly in rural areas.
The potential loss of expansion capacity in Bexhill, should the Link Road not go ahead within the Plan period, also argues for a flexible approach to capacity in rural service centres. The conclusion in relation to the Link Road contingency that the option of faster or additional development in individual service centre villages should be ruled out appears premature in advance of the site assessments.
