The proposed amendments to Policy LWL7 are strongly supported. Designing new streets for a maximum speed of 20mph, with integrated speed-reducing features, is an effective approach to improving road safety, encouraging walking and cycling, and supporting wellbeing in new communities. Overall, the revised policy provides clear guidance for developers while promoting safer, healthier, and more sustainable neighbourhoods.

It is important that the Local Plan explicitly recognises the need for investment in new build medical facilities to support growth in all areas however, particularly Bexhill and Battle. With additional housing planned in these areas, there will be increased demand for primary care services, and current infrastructure may not be sufficient to meet this need. Securing funding or developer contributions to deliver new or expanded healthcare premises should be considered alongside housing allocations to ensure that health and wellbeing of residents is maintained and that new communities are sustainably supported.
