No, I do not agree. It is a greenfield site which should not be allocated for development. The existing club is a CASC and as such should cater for the community and the need for healthier lifestyles through sport participation. Rother's own Open Space, Sport and Recreation Study singled out the Knole Road site as being of particular high value, has not been fully considered. A green open space within a development boundary should be protected in its entirety and in perpetuity, as it formed part of the very 'English' character of this area.

Gullivers Action Group does not agree with Policy BEX5:
Policy PO1 sets the principles for retaining sites and premises currently in community use, and Gullivers Bowls Club has been proved to be viable.
Policy EN5 provides an over-arching policy commitment to protect and enhance green space including the array of 'multi-functional' green spaces that variously provide recreational opportunities.
This consultation document acknowledges some over-provision of sites. Therefore BEX5 is wrong to specify 39 retirement apartments, with no planning permission and
objections from statutory consultees.
It is contrary to the stated aim for Bexhill to have a 'more balanced demographic profile'.
