The Core Strategy for Battle should describe it as a Country town, it is no longer a market town.

So far as traffic congestion in the town centre is concerned it is difficult if not impossible to understand, how the siting of over 500 new homes in Battle can have anything but a seriously adverse effect on the present situation.

To claim that the Core Strategy
aims to 'minimise cross-town traffic flows is wildly optimistic and something which cannot be achieved unless a by-pass is provided
for through traffic using the A21. If the very pleasant character of Battle is to be preserved the proposed additional residential development should not be carried out.
