Object to the development as its sustainablity is fatally flawed by reliance on the Link Road. It will pre-determine the car as the prime mode of transport, and hamper development of high quality alternatives to the car.

The 'Manual for Streets' signals a move away from developments dependent upon major road schemes.

The 'Masterplan' needs a re-think. According to Hastings Multi-Modal Study in 2000 much of the development could be built without the Link Road. Developer contributions should be used for alternative transport.
