Respondent: Mr Chris Lewcock
I have been asked by the Bulverhythe Protectors to submit a statement supporting this policy as it relates to the Combe Valley Countryside Park, in particular the Bexhill Road Playing Fields and the Goringe Stream local wildlife site. The open green landscape at the entrance of the Countryside Park and in the relatively narrow gap between Bexhill and St Leonards would be adversely affected by any significant built structures in this location. The possible loss of more intensive recreational areas such as the Bexhill Road Playing Fields would increase pressures on more naturally sensitive parts of the Park. Works to permit substantial development, eg drainage "improvements" would have adverse knock-on effects in the Park. All would undermine the objectives of the Countryside Park in respect to protection and enhancement of the natural environment and bio-diversity. The Protectors will be ready to appear at the forthcoming inquiry to support this policy.
