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

Representation ID: 23810

Received: 20/02/2017

Respondent: Mr Bryan Longley

Representation Summary:

The requirement of Policy BEX7 should be amended to 11 dwellings.

One source of income into Bexhill coffers is the wealth/disposable income of retirees from Greater London - likely to increase as pressure on the Capital grows. Many such entrants to the community have, in the past, gravitated to the area of Ellerslie Lane/Fryatts Way. And, it might be assumed, would continue to do so.

The need, when considered in the wider context of Bexhill prosperity is, I suggest, for 11 dwellings of some 8,000 square feet; not for 22 of half that size.

I do not agree with the requirement of Policy BEX7 and would wish it to be amended by reducing the number of dwellings to 11 (eleven) in number.

I feel sure that I anticipate RDC broad policy correctly in assuming that such developments as the above not just within 'Core Strategy' objective, but within the broader ambitions for the Bexhill community; I nonetheless draw attention here to that broader responsibility. in doing so, I apologise for my inability to access the correct form on my computer and hope that this letter wont be dismissed because of this omission.
