The planned development to the North of Pebsham and Sidley relating to land ref BX124 is a preferred site. There is the possibility of further development. This would be beneficial to all Bexhill residents as this is a new site with no existing residential environment. New homes and businesses on a new site would offer less impact on an already settled community with the opportunity to provide local amenities such as shops/school/doctors etc.

Access to BX124 will not have such an impact on the busy A259, Little Common area. There is mention of traffic going along St. Marys Lane. If NBAR were to be extended from the A269 to the A259 near The Lamb at Hooe, this would take a great deal of traffic away from A259, Little Common.

BX124 is better suited for development with access via NBAR to Coombe Valley Way with easy access to shopping at Ravenside, GP Surgeries and Bexhill Town Centre, taking traffic away from the A259. This will help with the growing levels of air & noise pollution within the A259 areas.

With little employment in Little Common people living in the proposed development BX116 would need to travel to work, putting more pressure on the congestion along the A259 which is already high, this will increase the levels of air & noise pollution on the residents of the Little Common area which should be avoided for everyone's health.

Should additional properties after 2028 be needed it would be environmentally better for the community to extend BX124 than to extend areas where there is not the infrastructure to support new dwellings.
