Catsfield is a small drive-through village on the way to Hastings or Battle. It has a 30mph speed limit running through the village which nobody seems to adhere too. The pavements are very narrow meaning you have to walk in single file which is extremely dangerous when out walking with children and dogs. Due to the road being a through-road people DONT park on the road in fear of getting their cars damaged or holding up the traffic so more than often than not park with two wheels on the pavement making it even more hazardous for pedestrians. There was a court case a year ago due to a car getting damaged by a disability scooter whilst having two wheels on the pavement. Adding 35 houses to the the middle of a small village will only make the situation worse and far more dangerous for its inhabitants. An accident waiting to happen.
