The SE Plan was an assessment of population factors affecting the Sothe East housing requirements. Although the Plan may have refered to the strategy for Bexhill based on a completion of road improvements the housing need for the district remains 280 compared tp 245. This only represents a 14 % increase over the plan period. The evidence for the districts housing requirements remain. It is for the Council to assess how best to deliver this housing need is met.

Whilst this explanation is accepted in principle it is not an excuse for the Council not meeting its own locally derived reduced housing target of 3,700 - 4,100 dwellings in the period 2011-2028 in circumstances where the Council fails to obtain funding for the Bexhill/Hastings link road.
In such circumstances the housing related to the link road should be re-allocated elsewhere (including in the Rural Service Centres, such as Robertsbridge) in order to ensure that the housing needs of the District are met even without the link road.
