The development outlined in Policy BEX9 is totally unacceptable and unsuitable in its present format as it ignores a previous policy decision that any development along the A259 corridor should exit onto Barnhorn Road. Exiting onto Spindlewood would be a disaster for the residents of Spindlewood and Maple Walk and associated roads. If Policy BEX9 development is allowed to proceed there should be no exit onto Spindlewood Road.

Residents of Maple Walk, an unadopted road, have to contribute to the maintenance of their road.
A development of the size proposed in BEX9 would lead to a significant increase in traffic along Maple Road and an inevitable unacceptable financial burden to the residents.

No developments should take place in the Little Common area until a Little Common bypass project has been evaluated - linking the NBAR onto the A259 in the Hooe area.

BEX9 should be shelved until a proper study is made into -
1. Effects on the current road system - especially bearing in mind that some of these roads are unadopted. Especially Maple Walk (unadopted) which is only single file for a considerable length and also Meads Road, which because of on-street parking is effectively also single file for most of its length.
2. Current levels of air pollution along the A259 in the Little Common area and the potential for this development to significantly worsen the current levels.
3. A complete scientific study of the area in the BEX9 proposal and the inevitable damage that would occur to the existing wildlife.
4. A thorough investigation into the possible damage to the environment though pollution bearing in mind the sensitive areas of the nearby Pevensey Levels and their SSSI and RAMSAR statuses.
5. A full investigation into the existing resources and infrastructure available at Little Common - GP Surgery, Pharmacy, Schools etc should be made as to their ability to absorb the increased demand that would be created by such a large development as this proposal.
