* See representations made in respect of Vision and Strategic Objectives and Policy OSS1.

* Para 1 starting 'Early construction ...' is not a spatial planning policy statement.

* Regarding Para 2, whether the Link Road is delayed or not built at all, are two different scenarios with different consequences which are not explained in the policy. Also what does 'significantly' mean in the policy?

* OSS2(i)-(iii) leaves too much for later determination, but the policy hints that some early development may be able to come forward. If the Plan is to proceed, OSS2(iii) should be amended as follows:

a) Support

b) Whether the Link Road construction is confirmed or not, Northeast Bexhill should be subject to partial release, subject to impact assessments.

c) The other major Greenfield sites to the north and west of Bexhill are required in any event to meet needs identified by the Council. This clause, as it is presently drafted, should be deleted.

d) The release of other major Greenfield sites to the north and west of Bexhill appears to be subject to further study and then to be subject to further DPDs. This clause should be read in conjunction with BX3 iii which stated that the scale, timing and locations will be determined via the site allocations process. These allocations should be separated out. The west of Bexhill development area could be brought forward before those to the east. As commented elsewhere, the broad location identified to the west of Bexhill should be extended southwards
