12. Environment

Representation ID: 20000

Received: 04/01/2009

Respondent: Rye Conservation Society

Representation Summary:

Para 12.38 The Environment Agency estimate of numbers of properties at risk neither takes into account existing or proposed sea/flood defences nor states whether both tidal inundation or fluvial flooding is included.

Para 12.42 The statement that regeneration objectives would decline if development is only permitted outside flood risk areas, is made without qualification and cannot be accepted. Rock Channel (North) is now protected by new flood defences but is specifically stated to be excepted by suitable flood risk management.

13. Transport and Accessibility

Representation ID: 20001

Received: 04/01/2009

Respondent: Rye Conservation Society

Representation Summary:

The focus for the strategy outlined in paras 13.6, 13.7 and 13.8 are sound but fails to mention:
1. Safety - which must be a key factor with investment in road transport
2. Electrification and dual tracking of the Marsh Link rail connection between Hastings and Ashford

Para 13.9 Regional Transport programme schemes/initiatives:
- Baldslow improvement (No.5) must be brought forward for completion to coincide with the Bexhill-Hastings Link Road to avoid a chaotic congestion problem at this major road iinterchange
- Suggest include also Rye Harbour Road/A259 junction improvement to improve road access to the Port of Rye and the industrial development site at Rye Harbour Road.
