Proposed Submission Development and Site Allocations (DaSA) Local Plan

Representation ID: 24081

Received: 03/12/2018

Respondent: Mr Scott Hardy

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? No

Representation Summary:

Already suffered two years of blight due to the north Bexhill access road construction and all its delays. Once completed (who can say) we will have to take the blight of the traffic noise and increased traffic flows, then to have the double blight of the travellers' site imposed upon us.
The next statements are not made up and I do not wish to stereotype any faction of society but all came about from the previous travellers' site being located in Watermill Lane.
Trespass:
Then, interacting with customers on the campsite, myself and my family in an antisocial threatening manner of behaviour.
Rural Crime:
Static caravan gas regulators stolen as well as the bottles; holly and Christmas trees cut down and stolen. Stacked wood stolen.
All access for the crime came via trespass off the footpath
Sussex Police's unwillingness to follow up any lines of enquiry which lead back to the travellers' site or even step foot on the site.
All these factors will result in me having to apply to close the public footpath because I will be failing in my duty of care to my customers and it will make it impossible for my business to function
