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

Representation ID: 22599

Received: 19/02/2017

Respondent: Mrs Drusilla Tramaseur

Representation Summary:

I agree with the proposed policy wording and would point out that it should be applied to BEX5 (Knole Road, Bexhill) because the club is a Community Amateur Sports Club and the entire site is registered as an Asset of Community Value. The social value of the site for sport and open space is therefore well established, and it was also proved in court that the club is financially viable. The site should not be allocated for any retirement housing as a means of enabling the club to renew its facilities. There are other options.
