Archaeology

Please note that for most answers in this section a Red, Amber or Green rating has been assigned. In providing these responses, regard has been had to paragraph 169 of the NPPF. We are of the view that in order to satisfy this part of the NPPF, some of the proposed site allocations should be subject to archaeological assessment prior to the Pre-Submission version of the DaSA being published - these particular sites are identified below. For all the proposed allocations there will be a requirement for the subsequent planning applications to satisfy paragraph 128 of the NPPF.

-Policy BEX4: Land at Former High School Site and Drill Hall, Down Road, Bexhill

The site contains an extant early 20th century drill hall associated with the Royal Sussex Battalions that fought in WW1. The site is therefore of very high local archaeological and historic significance and should not be demolished.
