In general Battle Town Council supports the strategic objectives with reservations regarding the Hastings Fringes as these appear to encroach on the current strategic gaps.
With reference to densities, the selection option B has pushed the density level higher than the previous standard

With a high number of developments proposed for Hastings Road this will further increase congested traffic with very little protected pedestrian footways.
Once the Tapestry development is completed there will also be additional traffic onto the A2100, Hastings Road.
To reduce the reliance on individual transportation the public transport network should be increased.
Management of timing of developments should be considered to ensure there is time between developments to reduce the negative impact of traffic and construction noise, emissions and other disruptions.
Consideration must be given to the impact of increased population on emergency services and health provision.
A better process for working with the NHS and other local authority provisions should be mandatory

The existing strategic gaps must be retained to prevent the coalescence of Hastings and Battle and retain the historic entity of Battle.
Proposed development sites should be shaped to be within the current development boundaries
