Representation ID: 23069

Received: 09/02/2017

Respondent: Mr Richie Austin

Representation Summary:

Peasmarsh is a small Village that has been over developed over the last 20 years. Services in the village are non existent as is public transport.

I feel Rother Council target Peasmarsh because of the supermarket Jempsons as being an amenity.

Rye Medical Centre which looks after Peasmarsh is at breaking point.

Employment in the village is bare minimum.

The preferred site ps24 Impacts largely on the landscape and properties on and around the proposed development.

Any development in Peasmarsh will strain the village, it needs massive investment to public transport, water, gas, drainage, telephone and the road systems.

I would like to add the following points in regards to the Proposed development in Peasmarsh:

Peasmarsh is a small Village that has been over developed already over the last 20 years, Farleys way, Hop gardens and the continuing development of Maltins.. Our services in the village are non existent, Public transport is now almost non existent with public transport having being cut back year on year.

I feel Rother Council target Peasmarsh because of the supermarket Jempsons as being an amenity, a supermarket which most of the village does not use mainly because of there prices which are considerably higher than a leading supermarket, with most of the village using on line delivery for there shopping due to poor transport links to local towns and shops.

Rye Medical Centre which looks after Peasmarsh again is at breaking point and would struggle to cope with another possible 200 people after a development of this type, It takes sometimes two weeks to be able to see a doctor at the moment.

Employment in the village is bare minimum most residents either are unemployed or travel by car to other areas to work, there is very little Employment prospects in the village or local area.

The preferred site ps24 Impacts largely on the landscape and properties on and around the proposed development, The PS3 site as mentioned about has already only recently had development placed on it making it closer to the real centre of the village and playing fields already located in the Maltins.

As mentioned already any development in Peasmarsh will very much strain the village, before any large developments are planned for the village it need massive investment to public transport water, gas, drainage, telephone and the road systems.

I trust these comments and the complete form above will be taken into consideration and that I am highly objecting to the development proposal
