Not sure this is a good idea.Apart from ecological issues,this could generate some dangerous traffic problems.

Rother District Council wishes to seek clarification with regards to whether HBC have received an express view from East Sussex County Council and/or the Highways Agency that an offline improvement at Baldslow need not be safeguarded pending the further examination of the options. Rother District Council wishes to make a firm objection to the inclusion of this site at this stage for employment purposes. It is important that any discussion about this site be carried out in liaison with East Sussex County Council, and due consideration is made to any future highway junction improvements in this area.

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

Flood risk, SUDS and watercourse corridor retention should be considered. Maintaining buffer zones adjoining watercourses will reduce the risk of flooding and provide for habitat enhancement.

Protect Hollington Valley SNCI, retain ditch through centre and ecological connectivity

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.

The Baldslow Junction highway improvement will be required at some time in the future. The status quo should be retained. Outside the Built up Area

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.
