Representation Summary:

Whilst this explanation is accepted in principle it is not an excuse for the Council not meeting its own locally derived reduced housing target of 3,700 - 4,100 dwellings in the period 2011-2028 in circumstances where the Council fails to obtain funding for the Bexhill/Hastings link road.

In such circumstances the housing related to the link road should be re-allocated elsewhere (including in the Rural Service Centres, such as Robertsbridge) in order to ensure that the housing needs of the District are met even without the link road.
