Battle should be identified for medium growth in accordance with Option 1. While Bexhill is the main settlement within the District, it has constraints that restrict its potential for meeting all future development needs.
While Battle and Rye also have constraints, there is potential for limited expansion at Battle to help accommodate future development needs without harming the town's rural setting and landscape quality. Promoting Option 2 would add to development pressures on less sustainable smaller settlements and reduce the scope to sustain existing facilities within Battle as well as providing social benefits such as affordable housing.
