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

Representation ID: 23090

Received: 12/02/2017

Respondent: Mr Kenneth Saunders

Representation Summary:

Northeye is a brownfield site and has always had some development on it.

In view of the need to identify housing areas this would seem a good place to develop as there is already some housing there, so that options 2 would seem the least contentious. Our only concern relates to access to the site and the further demands made on the A259. This would give residents easier access to Eastbourne than to Bexhill and Hastings and surely this is not what the town would want. This development could isolate new residents.

This development could isolate new residents and some thought would need to be given to this as well as the effect on the road
