A neighbour friend who was on the Fairlight
Parish Council until recently, remembers being informed recently that the then MP for
Hastings & Rye Ms Sally Ann Hart was of the opinion that this site should NOT be developed because there was plenty of spare land available elsewhere in the vicinity suitable for provision of 30 to 50 houses to be developed and should be investigated before such a decision is made. I remember also being informed the same information by Rother District Councillor Mr Andrew Mier also of Fairlight and again wish this to be investigated. Of course now the Labour Party may have differing ideas for this site, it changes the position I hope not.
I trust this is true and hope something positive comes out of it.
Please see full text of representation below.
I sent a letter to you on the 20th July 2024 giving my views on this within the time scale
allowed. Since then I have received the following information that although after the cut off
date for comments it is so important I think it should still be taken into account in your
decision whether to hold another vote again for development of this site or not, I hope not.
