Representation ID: 1473

The preamble to PA19 in paragraph 15.1 implies that the County Council actually proposed this development in 'New Homes for East Sussex' as part of the work to inform the SE Plan. In fact, the publication was consulting on proposed district housing provisions as part of the Council Council's advce to the Regional Assembly in preparing the draft SE Plan. Part of this included the likelihood of a new greenfield housing allocation of around 1000 dwellings in Rother District. It explained that our assessment suggested it could be provided at North &/or West Bexhill. But in addition & to reflect ideas already discussed in the Hastings-Bexhill Masterplan, it also stated: 'There might also be some ltd potential on the western fringe of Hastings together with employment development as part of a mixed scheme, but this would be dependent upon improving local access & a new railway station at Wilting to serve it'.
This does not constitute a County Council proposal, but is merely an acknowledgement of an option previously suggested & this should be made clear in the Core Strategy.
