I totally disagree with the preferred development site BEX9: land off Spindlewood Drive.

Completion of the North Bexhill Access Road has already increased traffic along the A259 from its junction at the traffic lights in Bexhill westwards through Little Common. There are traffic queues at many times of the day now at the Little
Common roundabout causing a significant increase in air pollution. Any new developments in the Little Common Area would have a massive effect in worsening this pollution.

The proposed exit from this site via Spindlewood Drive is onto a very narrow road in either direction - via Meads Road to Little Common or via Maple Walk southwards. In addition Maple Walk is an unadopted road and totally unsuitable for any increase in traffic flows. Also the frontagers of Maple Walk (and other roads in this locality) are responsible for the maintenance of their unadopted roads. Would the Rother District Council be prepared to meet the bill of more frequent repairs due to their decision to allow a very significant rise of road use and construction traffic?
I suggest that the sites best suited to development would be BX124: North Bexhill and BX101; Northeye.
