This site has already received approval by Cabinet for the installation of a leisure complex which is to be applauded. This cost effective proposal would bring many benefits to an area that is nothing more than an eyesore.

Proposal much too dense. Plan superceded by "Lido" development?

A16.
For the last Borough Plan enquiry a mixed use proposal for site WSL1 now A16 was accepted by HBC and the inspector as a compromise to a wholly residential proposal for this important potential leisure destination in Hastings.

I am not convinced that the wording will be implemented such as occurred when Tibbalds presented their brief from HBC instructions as it seems HBC and its consultant cohorts still want to "Maximise" housing on this site. Is the tibbalds proposal now gathering dust on a planning shelf?

The east end of A16 is particularly suitable for a landmark building for leisure.

support residential use but suggested numbers are too high. A mixed use scheme to include leisure and retail to allow this area to become an alternative destination to Hastings and the Old Town

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

This should be kept as largely open, and leisure focussed. 120 is far too high a density; there are also flood risk issues

In addition to Flood Risk, the site also lies adjacent to the shoreline and therefore coastal erosion should be considered.

Vegetated shingle creation opportunity.

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.

This area may be subject to flooding and instability. Capacity on 2.22 ha - 120 far too many - too dense. Keep as open space.
