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

Representation ID: 23202

Received: 19/02/2017

Respondent: Gullivers Action Group

Representation Summary:

Gullivers Action Group does not agree with Policy BEX5:

Policy PO1 sets the principles for retaining sites and premises currently in community use, and Gullivers Bowls Club has been proved to be viable.

Policy EN5 provides an over-arching policy commitment to protect and enhance green space including the array of 'multi-functional' green spaces that variously provide recreational opportunities.

This consultation document acknowledges some over-provision of sites. Therefore BEX5 is wrong to specify 39 retirement apartments, with no planning permission and
objections from statutory consultees.

It is contrary to the stated aim for Bexhill to have a 'more balanced demographic profile'.
