Representation Summary:

Puzzled that the 'holes' within the town centre boundary, will cause difficulties. Why does town centre extend up London Road yet not include surrounded areas south of there -off Endwell and behind Parkhurst for instance.

Representation Summary:

I disagree with the encouraging Large Retailers as this would change the face and character to Bexhill on sea. We do not wish to become like Hastings nor Eastbourne. Individuals that want to frequent such places can go there. Lets keep Bexhill an independent experience please.

Please note that for most answers in this section a Red, Amber or Green rating has been assigned. In providing these responses, regard has been had to paragraph 169 of the NPPF. We are of the view that in order to satisfy this part of the NPPF, some of the proposed site allocations should be subject to archaeological assessment prior to the Pre-Submission version of the DaSA being published - these particular sites are identified below. For all the proposed allocations there will be a requirement for the subsequent planning applications to satisfy paragraph 128 of the NPPF.
