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

Representation ID: 22968

Received: 20/02/2017

Respondent: Mrs Shelley Hardy

Representation Summary:

I run Cobbs hill farm caravan and camping park. As for the road and housing I do not know how this will effect our home/business but I do know how much travellers site will, having experienced travellers when they moved nearby 10 years ago. We have a footpath that goes through the back of the caravan park when the travellers lived nearby and we had lots of problems.

Do these proposals actually mean anything do the people of Bexhill actually have a say or will you just go ahead and do as you like changing the plans as you go?

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to you about the development plans you have for the areas around the north Bexhill access road . I run with my family Cobbs hill farm caravan and camping park that is down Watermill lane and I have lived there most of my life. As for the road and housing I do not know how much this will effect our home/business but I do know how much having a travellers site will, having experienced travellers when they moved to a nearby field 10 year ago . Because we have a footpath that goes through the back of the caravan park when the travellers lived nearby they had easy access to the caravan park and we had lots of problems mostly theft and verbal abuse, I do not want myself, my family or the visitors that come to Bexhill for a holiday to have to experience any of this.

I know you say you have to put traveller sites somewhere but I really would not wish this on anyone.

Do these proposals actually mean anything do the people of Bexhill actually have a say or will you just go ahead and do as you like changing the plans as you go?
