Rother Council should look at the newly created Coombe Valley dual carriageway
with associated land on either side of the road for future housing developments.

The creation of an entirely new village off of Coombe Valley with its own schools,
businesses, shops, GP surgeries, dentists and pharmacies would solve many of
the problems within the local area.

The Highways Authority needs to build a new link road from Combe Valley across
to the Pevensey Marshes, which would effectively take some of the traffic off of
the already overcrowded Barnhorn Road. The Government has said that it will
provide additional funding for major pinch points in the country and certainly
Little Common and Barnhorn Road would have a major case for requesting such
funding.

The Council should look at the old UAE site at Pevensey (the old prison formerly
known as Northeye BXIOI, which is a brown field site), which should take
precedence over any new developments on green field sites.

The entrance to the proposed site should be from Barnhorn Manor, off of
Barnhorn Road, with the exit from Upper Barnhorn Manor in line with the
Council's previous documentation 'Rother Local Core Strategy', paragraph 8.56,
which clearly states that all future developments should be off of Barnhorn Road
— the A259.

Whilst, of course, I understand the pressures from National Government on local
Councils for the ever increasing need for housing and, in particular social
housing, the Council needs to be aware of the strength of opinion against
housing being built in inappropriate areas of Bexhill and the ensuing
infrastructure problems that this will cause.
