Representation Summary:

The council have deleted and ignored its own evidence base with the removal of the justified target of around 150 dwellings pa over the later period of the previous Plan deliverable at Bexhill which they previously acknowledged "is equivalent to the rate of house building over the past 5 years"(para8.53). Nothing has changed since the publication of their deposit plan that can justify them abandoning this rate of housing delivery at Bexhill just so it can meet a new housing target for the town.
