59. What are your views on the vision for Hastings Fringes and surrounding settlements?

Respondent: Guestling Parish Council
The term 'Hastings Fringes' is not looked upon favourably as this is a Rother Draft Local Plan. The term would seem to imply the destruction of the vital strategic gap. The infrastructure is not there to support such growth in the current state. The Local Plan places much emphasis on walking, cycling and public transport. The reality is that in a hilly rural environment this is not always possible. The rapid development in nearby Hastings is not sympathetic to the HW AONB and the traffic impact is huge.

168. What are your views on the Council's proposed policy on holiday sites?

Respondent: Guestling Parish Council
The policy acknowledges that sites must remain available for tourist accommodation yet Guestling has a large caravan site that is now mostly residential. A Guestling Parish Council traffic survey done 4 times in 12 month period showed 60% traffic generation from the site. This is not acceptable on an unclassified in places single track lane. This also places a large amount of additional stress on services such as hospital, doctors, schools, dentists etc. as they are not included in the census.
Planning permissions & licencing needs to be enforced. Caravans are being replaced by much larger lodge units. There is light pollution.
