The Core Strategy for Bexhill should make it clear that its role is of a seaside residential town. This was decided by a resolution of the Council many years ago, following the collapse of the hotel industry and in order to plan realistically for the future. It may be tempting to think that the town could once again become a holiday resort or a conference centre and indeed the District Council have allocated long-term funds for possible hotel development. It is time to be realistic and state quite clearly in the Core Strategy that Bexhill is a seaside residential town and plan accordingly.
