The proposed housing development at the site of the old Northeye Prison and land
off Spindlewood Drive must not be allowed to proceed.

The inevitable increase in traffic generated by this development will make the A259
congestion even more intolerable than at present.

It is of paramount importance that the local transport congestion problems are
addressed before further building development is allowed.

It is commonly accepted that traffic conditions both sides of Little Common
roundabout have become a nightmare. The Barnhorn Green development go ahead
should also be reviewed in the light of the increased traffic since approval and the
lack of any new infrastructure.

These future building development plans should be nipped in the bud and minds
should be concentrating on getting the horrendous local road problems sorted before
anything like these plans should be considered.

All this is without taking into account the environmental and nature considerations,
especially south of Barnhorn Road where there are woods and nature reserves, barn
owls, bats etc that we can ill afford to lose. We don't want our coastline to end up as
one big housing development.

For some reason Rother District Council has decided that it is OK to saturate certain
parts of Bexhill with new housing whilst other parts of Rother virtually escape
completely.

I, therefore, strongly object to the above proposal.
