Development and Site Allocations (DaSA) Local Plan - Options and Preferred Options

Representation ID: 22225

Received: 10/02/2017

Respondent: Mr Ian Wakeford

Representation Summary:

No to BEX9. The Bexhill link road has dramatically added to traffic around the Little Common area in all directions causing chaos. The introduction of 160 houses will add significantly to blockages in the village and will drive exiting traffic to the south along roads which are not suited in design or structure to take the extra load. Roads to the south of Spindlewood should have traffic calming measures throughout. Actual development should be phased to measure the effect on the surrounding roads. Fairness requires the council to adopt all unadopted roads as these levels of usage where never anticipated.
