I strongly object to the proposed development on land off Spindlewood Drive.
It is not a question of making changes; the proposal is flawed and no planning permission should be given to any development on that site. Many objections have already been submitted by local residents and none have been satisfactorily answered. Rother District Council should not be continuing to support and promote the Spindlewood site.

TRAFFIC

-The proposed access roads-Meads Road, Spindlewood Drive, Maple Walk and Maple Avenue are totally unsuitable for the additional traffic that would be generated both during construction and forever thereafter.
-The impact on Cooden Sea Road would be dangerous and intolerable.
-Any development would inevitably produce a "rat-run" effect as traffic (including the increased amount generated by the Rosewood Park development already under construction) would seek to avoid the increased congestion and delays on the Little Common roundabout.
-The impact on Air and Noise pollution has never been mentioned throughout the DaSA documents and this will be significant and must be taken into account.
-The proposed access onto the A259 will produce a real danger to all traffic entering or exiting, and to through traffic.

This application should be permanently refused.
