There appears to be no evidence that it has been subject to a landscape appraisal alongside other greenfield options in Hastings & it could have an adverse impact on the wider landscape in Rother District & the nearby SSSI.
Its delivery cannot be assured until key transport links & access from Rother are provided, none of which is in the control of the Core Strategy. There is, therefore, an element of risk that may require a contingency proposal, should any of those transport schemes fail.
It is not clear how far at this stage the strategy really needs Breadsell. If monitoring indicates that windfall completions are coming forward in significant numbers & the potential yield form other urban sites is maintained, then Breadsell may not be needed to meet current SE PLan provisions by 2026.
There are judgements to be made about the balance of risks & deliverability of the strategy.
