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

Representation ID: 22853

Received: 16/02/2017

Respondent: Mr Christopher Toombs

Representation Summary:

The proposed Spindlewood development is not suitable due to the lack of infrastructure. It is already fully stretched in Little Common.

Maple Walk and Meads Road are effectively single lane roads, especially with the parked vehicles in the latter. Cooden Sea Road is not maintained as it is, without additional traffic queuing for the Little Common roundabout.

Most of all we paid a premium to live in a quiet, low density area and not as it is proposed to overdevelop it, causing extra noise, pollution and a greater risk of flooding and crime.

A more suitable site would be BX124.

I do not agree with this requirement.

The proposed Spindlewood development (BEX9/BX116) is not suitable due to the lack of infrastructure.

The infrastructure is already fully stretched in Little Common and additional housing, people and cars will not be acceptable.

The local resources for doctors, dentists, pharmacies are all overstretched along with a general lack of car parking, and the congested potholed roads.

Maple Walk and Meads Road are effectively single lane roads, especially with the parked vehicles in the latter. Cooden Sea Road is not maintained as it is, without additional traffic queuing for the Little Common roundabout.

Most of all we paid a premium to live in a quiet, low density area and not as it is proposed to overdevelop it, causing extra noise, pollution and a greater risk of flooding and crime.

A more suitable site would be the North Bexhill Access Road (NBAR BEX3) site ref BX124.
