Representation Summary:

During my years as resident at the above address since 1974 there have been many changes, with the building of Coombe Valley Way having an enormous impact on my health and well-being.

Regarding works planned re pages 131-133, I cannot understand the reasons for putting a 100 bed hotel on this site, surely a hotel in the Bexhill seafront cultural area or south of the railway line would be more appropriate, but size should take into consideration the impact of any large hotel in Bexhill affecting the present holiday accommodation.

Will the present/leisure centre building continue in use on this site during surrounding construction?

Concern regarding the building of dwellings; are there the expected services available for new residents especially doctors' surgeries? Access to this site via the narrow Downs Road is a hazard to the safety of the local school pupils and the movement of vehicles especially during construction.

I agree this site cannot be left in this present state but the proposals are not practical due to limited access.
