Of the options contained in BEX3, i consider BX124 to be the most suitable because:
A.It has more development potential
B.It has fewer traffic constraints, particularly if the A259 and A269 are developed.
C.It would enjoy easy access to Coombe Valley Way and Ravenside, Conquest Hospital, GP surgeries in Bexhill, its town centre and the A21. These journeys would not exacerbate the current congestion on the A259 nor add to pollution levels caused by traffic queues at congestion points such as Little Common roundabout.
QUESTION 29: Do you agree with the requirements of Policy BEX3? If not, how would you wish to see it amended?
1. THE GOVERNMENT'S EMPHASIS AND URGENCY FOR THE NEED OF A CONSIDERABLY ENHANCED HOUSING STOCK IS NOT DISPUTED. BUT OF THE OPTIONS CONTAINED IN BEX 3, I CONSIDER BX124 TO BE THE MOST SUITABLE BECAUSE:
A. IT HAS MORE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
B. IT HAS FEWER TRAFFIC CONSTRAINTS, PARTICULARLY IF THE A259 AND A269 ARE DEVELOPED.
C. IT WOULD ENJOY EASY ACCESS TO COOMBE VALLEY WAY AND RAVENSIDE, CONQUEST HOSPITAL, GP SURGERIES IN BEXHILL, ITS TOWN CENTRE AND THE A21. THESE JOURNEYS WOULD NOT EXACERBATE THE CURRENT CONGESTION ON THE A259 NOR ADD TO POLLUTION LEVELS CAUSED BY TRAFFIC QUEUES AT CONGESTION POINTS SUCH AS LITTLE COMMON ROUNDABOUT.
