We feel that the opportunity has been missed to support footpaths, bridleways and cycle paths. There should be a requirement for all large scale developments in Bexhill - say over 30 houses - to contribute specifically to the creation of urban cycle routes.
In the countryside also, support could be given to maintain, improve and create new footpaths.

For accessibility, we would prefer Option C.
The minimum standards are appallingly low by any decent yardstick for living. If any house has a garage, that garage is usually the largest room in the house.
We would urge Rother to lobby for higher standards.
For accessibility, we would prefer Option C.
For older persons, we see merit in all options indicated. Specifically, given the ageing population:
Option A - should be set at 80 dwellings;
Option B - care homes should be spread, not all concentrated, say in Bexhill. Targets for other accommodation for the elderly should reflect as near as can be, census figures, on the basis that older people would wish to stay local to their communities, as well as indeed people with caring responsibilities ;
Options D and E - unless specified, developers will not build bungalows , so a target must be set, in line with census information;
Option F - possibly near to the hospital facilities.
