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

Representation ID: 23198

Received: 22/03/2017

Respondent: Mr & Mrs J Marchant

Representation Summary:

We strongly feel that the tourism led redevelopment would not be suitable as there is a lot of children who enjoy playing on the estate and this could jeopardise safety with unknown people constantly driving through.

If a development has to take place the most suitable plan would be, 115 residential dwellings, as this would keep in the place the community feel. The A259 would need to be dramatically improved as the congestion is horrendous, since the bypass has been built. It can take up to 20 minutes to get from Ticehurst Avenue to Little Common village most days.

We live at 14 Ticehurst Avenue and have our concerns regarding the developments outlined.

We strongly feel that the tourism led redevelopment with a high quality eco development and park hotel, would not be suitable for the area as there is a lot of children on the estate, who enjoy to play on the estate and this could jeopardise the safety of the area with unknown people constantly driving through.

We feel that if a development has to take place the most suitable plan would be, 115 residential dwellings, as this would keep in the place the community feel. Our strong concern is that Barnhorn Road, the A259 would need to be dramatically improved as the congestion of traffic is horrendous, since the bypass has been built. It can take up to 20 minutes to get from Ticehurst Avenue to Little Common village most days.
