Many of these development sites make no reference as to the design of these proposals - are they for flats? Are they for houses? Will there be play areas/gardens? Will there be adequate parking? How can people express an opinion when they do not know any of the above?

NO 1 Harrow Lane. - Ideally this site should remain as open space but if development is necessary it would be more appropriate to build high quality landmark multi story commercial to provide employment. The Hastings Shard could be commissioned in order to relocate Ashdown House offices that are now getting old. The site made available by Ashdown House demolished would be suitable for housing. Retain site for a purpose that respects it having a Trig point at this high location. Where will people work when Ashdown House gets demolished?

The development will add to the volume of traffic along the Ridge. As congestion increases we are concerned that traffic on the Ridge heading to the A259 or in the opposite direction will cease to use the B&Q junction and use the lanes to join/leave the A259 at the Butchers Lane junction

In conjunction with other sites in Planning Focus Areas 1; 4 and 11 development is for a possible 972 residential units, with approx 258 residential units being on the Ridge. That is a considerable number of extra cars accessing and exiting a very busy road. My concerns are the amount of units being proposed and the continued approval for back garden developments.

Infrastructure not adequate, more traffic, over populated, not enough water as it is, Ridge and Hastings cannot cope with any more traffic, schools, doctors, hospital shortage

One can only surmise that green spaces can even be considered for development is because it is cheaper and easier than really sorting out existing unsuitable housing and brown field sites. To put it starkly, it suits too many pockets to make the quick buck. I can see areas on the new Shaping Hastings Plan which exactly illustrate this. Green spaces should be kept as such locally. Planning too far ahead can be a danger. I would like to see any development along The Ridge vetoed e.g.
C08
A31
NO1

Little Ridge-&-Ashdown and Filsham-&-Bulverhythe are closely located to the A21 and A259 respectively and have been targeted for significant amounts of residential and employment development. It is important therefore, that development within these areas come forward with associated sustainable transport infrastructure to reduce the need to travel by car and the impact on the SRN.

Should these sites be carried forward to the next consultation stage it will be necessary to show how their impact will be mitigated. This is also true with large development sites in Filsham-&-Bulverhythe which are likely to generate traffic on the A259 west of Bexhill.

Focus areas 1 and 4 propose a total of 520 residences all requiring direct access onto the already heavily congested Ridge Road. This is ludicrous. With the projected increase arising from traffic using the new link road, there will be traffic congestion on a similar scale to that existing on the present A259 route from the western entrance to Hastings.
No further building of residential property should be permitted until a satisfactory solution has been made to the A21 problem.
