The Spindlewood site is extremely detrimental in a variety of ways to all the current residents of Cooden, Cooden Beach, Little Common and all the adjacent neighbourhoods. Alternative sites such as Site BX124 (Option l) the new North Bexhill Access Road (NBAR) where 450 houses are proposed should be actioned first.
This option already has a new road infrastructure that can cope with associated increases in road traffic. It has existing facilities to cope with increased general social needs e.g. shops, doctors surgeries etc.
This would eliminate the need to force Cooden and other Little Common communities to cope with reduced and unacceptable standards of community services, living and environment standards. Instead Option 1 (450 house) should be immediately combined with and j implemented with Option 2 (65 extra houses) and Option (3) (215 house). The resulting immediate increase of 730 houses would make any development in the Spindlewood area I completely unnecessary.
Already the road system in Little Common is inadequate with regular traffic queues and congestion in and around the village, on the A259, along the I Barnhorn Road, Meads Road, Cooden Beach Road and along Birkdale, - all of which regularly cause gridlocks in the area.
