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

Representation ID: 23812

Received: 06/02/2017

Respondent: Mrs Elizabeth J Allen

Representation Summary:

I do not agree with the requirement BEX9. Priority should be given to development along the NBAR.

I propose a deferment for reconsideration of development of this site until at least 2022. A full survey can then be undertaken as to EXACTLY how many residences will be needed, after more suitable sites have been developed, and the roads/infrastructure capacity demands re-assessed.

Development here would create excessive OVERLOADING of Little Common infrastructure, and ABOVE ALL the roads (Spindlewood Drive/Meads Road). Also the SEVERE POLLUTION and INACCESSABILITY for emergency services.

Meads Road/Spindlewood Drive are DEFINITELY NOT suitable for a increase of traffic.

Development here would create excessive OVERLOADING of Little Common Village, School, MEDICAL CENTRE, Parking, Public Services, and ABOVE ALL the roads into and out of Spindlewood Drive and Meads Road. Also the SEVERE POLLUTION and INACCESSABILITY for Ambulances, Paramedics, Fire Engines would become a CRITICAL PROBLEM. In addition, extra traffic would cause BLOCKING of the A259 for
MEDICAL services running between EASTBOURNE and the CONQUST HOSPTTAL and vice versa.

Meads Road and Spindlewood Drive are DEFINITELY NOT suitable for a increase of traffic both in and out of any new development.
