1.Required infrastructure must be determined before any application. Developers must be responsible for the infrastructure.
2.Affordable housing would be better served at BX124 where there is infrastructure.
3.Windfall sites should be investigated to utilise empty properties for residential.
4.Entrance from Maple Walk is single file and on unadopted roads. From Meads Road all traffic flows through bottleneck at Little Common roundabout. Air pollution will increase.
5.The proposed dwellings must have adequate school/doctors surgeries etc.
6.The number of dwellings expected in Bexhill is totally disproportionate to the overall size of the area.
1. The required infrastructure must be determined before any application is made. Developers must have a responsibility for the required infrastructure.
2. Affordable housing would be much better served if relocated to BX124 where there is an element of infrastructure.
3. Windfall sites should be investigated more fully to utilise in town empty properties for residential use.
4. Specific to Q35 the entrance from Maple Walk is single file traffic on unadopted roads such as Little Twitten and Maple Avenue. From Meads Road all traffic flows through an already bottle neck at Little common roundabout. Air pollution will increase.
5. The proposed 160 dwellings must have adequate school, doctors' surgeries, care homes etc. Even shopping will only be possible in Bexhill being the closest and already congested.
6. It appears to me that the number of dwellings expected in the Bexhill area of RDC is totally disproportionate to the overall size of the area.
