Respondent: Battle Town Council

Housing development cont: Fundamentally however we believe that the circumstances of the town should be looked at on their merits rather than development allocations being based on a formula. We totally fail to see how continuing development will enhance the commercial and tourism attractiveness of the town. Indeed it is more likely to be true that the exacerbation of the current problems could slowly strangle the town. The fact that it will include 40% affordable housing suggests to us that the additional pressure on social services, schools and similar facilities may not have been fully recognised in the consultation document.
