We do not support the element of the strategy which involves potential residential development on the periphery of the town particularly south of the A2100, east of the historic battlefield. We believe that it is unsustainable to consider this greenfield area for development as it lies outside the defined boundary of the urban area, within the AONB and adjacent to the Battle Conservation Area. There are no obvious boundary features in this area to provide limits to development so that the proposal could also lead to a gradual erosion of the defined Strategic Gap.
