Representation ID: 1993
Received: 04/08/2011
Representation Summary:
More information is required to justify use of windfalls, and vacant properties as part of housing supply. Advise ESCC are consulted on supporting background paper.
Whilst scale of housing allocations proposed in areas closer to the Link Road are supported, some other highway capacity issues could arise on parts of A259 Hastings Rd and The Ridge as a result of development in eastern parts of the town.
Housing should be provided in areas where there is existing transport infrastructure, or where new infrastructure can be accommodated.
Support reduction in housing numbers and acknowledge environmental benefits.
