BEX3 DEVELOPMENT

(NBAR) North Bexhill Development,
Looking at this site (Bex3) moving forward it has a far better proposed and constructed infrastructure and is a breath of fresh air for Sidley and surrounding areas, I should know I was born and lived there for 30 years.

Increasing the supply of high quality employment sites, providing for business development in locations that make effective use of rail and water transport opportunities, notably at the Port of Rye; (v) seeking town centre, or edge of centre, sites for offices, including as part of mixed-use developments, for Bexhill it's a good way to move forward but only with good road system.

With the new Coombe valley way link road and easy access to Hastings, St Leonards and importantly onto the main A21.

The main A21 is a more direct route to the M25 the North and Ashford international station, The other access route that would be use is the A269 leading towards the West, because of newly developed link roads this would take some of the strain of the A259 leading through Little Common which at present is overburdened even before the development of Barn Horn Green and the proposed development of Spindlewood and Northeye.

We all know that a bypass starting at Northeye (A259) and leading straight onto the North Bexhill access road and then onto to new Coombe Valley Way is the answer, but this is not going to happen for a long while.

We have to remember that a lot of local business that use the A259 going West are affected by road congestions and at present the A259 is nightmare at Little Common Roundabout and is not looking to improve, in fact it's getting worse even before proposed building.

This is why I believe that BEX3 is going forward and I would amend it because it has far better space to expand, whereas the development like the proposed Spindlewood would only be a contribution to gridlocking the now heavily congested A259 at Little Common.
