Site BEX5 in Knole Road should be re-allocated for leisure use. It is the last open space to the east of Bexhill town centre and within 20 minutes' walk for thousands of residents and visitors. It is a greeenfield site having been a park or sports facility and its historic setting should be preserved. One report states that 39 retirement flats are proposed to be allocated and another states 41. Both figures represent allocations which could be fulfilled elsewhere as small 'windfall' sites become available because there is stated to be a small surplus.
Site BEX5 in Knole Road, Bexhill should be re-allocated for leisure use. It is the last open space to the east of Bexhill town centre and is a greenfield site having been a park or sports facility. It is opposite listed buildings on the seafront and the historic setting should be preserved. One report states that 39 retirement flats could be accommodated on the site, another states that the figure is 41. Both figures represent allocations for housing which could be fulfilled elsewhere as small 'windfall' sites become available, given the stated small surplus of allocated sites.
