(BAT00014) will increase vehicles in this area. If 100 houses are built then the possibility of 200 additional cars using Tollgates will put substantial strain on this area particularly at school times when parents already cause difficulties with traffic at this time

Live Well Locally – Health/Well-Being and Climate Change
Additionally, it is not possible for people living in Fairlight to access a primary school, secondary school, further education, employment centres, town centres, shops or the local hospital and GP Service; by cycle or on foot, within either 15 or 30 Mins. This not only places heavy reliance on the use of cars to access essential amenities and services, but as indicated by the RTPI, would adversely impact the changes required to people’s day to day living, in order to achieve carbon net zero by 2050
Any proposed allocation would contribute greatly to that reliance on cars.
Fuel poverty (both heating and transport costs) is a known issue within the Village, as the services of the Parish Council’s Drop in Social Hub clearly demonstrate.
