Cinque Ports Way is an unadopted road which does not provide a footway. This should be brought up to an appropriate standard to provide safe access for both vehicles and pedestrians including those who are accessing the beach and beach huts. The site is on the A259, Bexhill Road and is therefore close to a bus route which links the site to the Town Centre, Bexhill & Eastbourne. The junction with the A259 should be considered to improve access to and from the site. This could take the form of traffic signals which due to the proximity to the Filsham Road junction may need to be linked. Being in a Zone 4 area within the ESCC parking standards, adequate provision must be made on site for vehicle as well as cycle parking.

The overriding issue with this site would be capacity on the A259, Bexhill Road. The road is generally at capacity and is over capacity at peak times. The provision of the Bexhill & Hastings Link Road is therefore essential to allow this site to be developed.

This site would need to contribute towards the installation of bus priority measures on the A259, which are complimentary measures associated with the construction of the Bexhill Hastings Link Road.
