Received: 11/11/2011
Respondent: BALI
Agent: DMH Stallard
Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Not specified
Not justified - This Core Strategy correctly states in paragraphs 7.60 - 7.66 and Policy OSSS2 that there is currently no certainty on the delivery of the Bexhill Hastings Link Road. It is therefore not 'sound' to make the assumption in this Core Strategy that it will be constructed. Policy BX3 (iii) does make that assumption, by making reference to future development to the north and west of Bexhill, which will require this Link Road (and additional roads) to be constructed.
Not Effective - In the preceding paragraphs to Policy BX3 there is no explanation on when or whether the roads to service any further new development to the north and west of the town would be constructed.
Not Consistent with National Policy - The reference in this Policy to 'further sites' for housing and business development to the north and west of Bexhill without providing evidence on how these areas would be accessed is contrary to National Policy, as set out in PPS3 and the Draft NPPF.
