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

Representation ID: 22845

Received: 16/02/2017

Respondent: Ms C Wormald

Representation Summary:

The Spindlewood Drive proposal is unsuitable on due to lack of suitable infrastructure in Little Common which would also apply to BX101.

We do not want an increase in flood risk because of concrete affecting drainage.

It is totally unsuitable site access via narrow roads (Meads Road, Maple Walk and Spindlewood Drive).

There would be serious consequences for all residents using Meads Road with increased levels of noise and air pollution as well as severe congestion as traffic attempts to join the already busy Cooden Sea Road.

The most suitable would be BX124.

I do not agree with the requirement. The Spindlewood Drive development proposal
(BEX9/BX116) is unsuitable on the grounds of lack of suitable infrastructure around the Little Common area which also seems to apply to BX101 (Northeye).

Little Common's infrastructure cannot cope with additional numbers of properties
and people.

We are also very concerned about the proposed huge increase in numbers of patients registering with local GP surgeries, dentists, pharmacists and other associated health professionals as well as the needs of school children and a lack of parking which needs attention, now. We do not want an increase in the risk of flooding because of concrete affecting drainage.

It is totally unsuitable site access via narrow roads (Meads Road, Maple Walk and Spindlewood Drive) and Meads Road may even be hazardous to road and pedestrian users especially for very heavy vehicles.

There would be serious consequences for all residents using Meads Road with increased levels of noise and air pollution as well as severe congestion as traffic attempts to join the already busy Cooden Sea Road.

More Suitable Sites

The most suitable would be off the North Bexhill Access Road (NEAR BEX3) site ref. BX124
