The risks associated with the failure to implement the Bexhill to Hastings Link Road are clear and documented.

It is noted that the significant growth envisaged by the South East Plan for Bexhill and Hastings is entirely dependent on Link Road construction to provide necessary highway capacity. The Link Road therefore represents the single largest risk to housing growth in Rother.

Whilst several alternative options and contingencies have been considered by the Council, a significant objection is raised regarding the Council's preferred strategy relating to the timing of the Bexhill-Hastings Link Road.
