Bexhill needs jobs. Small businesses should be encouraged. Assistance to small businesses using the existing "Employment use" site is preferable to enabling yet another supermarket.
There is also the danger that if Sainsbury's is threatened with competition they would relocate to the larger site, leaving a hole in the centre of town.
Bexhill does not need more supermarkets, and the introduction of "chain" clothes shops etc. would damage the existing town centre businesses.
