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

Representation ID: 22729

Received: 20/02/2017

Respondent: S J Perry

Representation Summary:

This is overdevelopment, especially in Bexhill-on-Sea and over-calculation of genuine housing requirement for local people in this specific area. It seems the calculation is to mitigate the migration-drivers. to take up pressure otherwise in the Rother District catchment area (eg historic parishes/AONB) and even to assist Hastings Borough directives to allocation.

The whole area will be spoilt forever and I object to this development plan.

This would be a loss to the environment and present wildlife corridor.

Business units left vacant
I am not persuaded that there is a call for this and there are many units left vacant.

Object: this is overdevelopment, especially in Bexhill-on-Sea and over-calculation of genuine housing requirement for local people in this specific area. It seems the calculation is to mitigate the migration-drivers. to take up pressure otherwise in the Rother District catchment area (eg historic parishes and/or AONB) and even to assist Hastings Borough directives to allocation.

Although I fully agree with the reasons to resist development elsewhere - it does not
justice to negate the value of Bexhill-on-Sea environments and historic features which should also be retained. The whole area will be spoilt forever and I object to this development plan.
