This site could provide much needed residential and commercial opportunities to this neglected area.

This site should be developed for leisure or commercial/potentially retail purposes. However, the proximity to the busy A259 means the site would be unsuitable for an out of town retail development with large ammounts of parking as this would provide additional traffic pressures on a very busy road. The site is unsuitable for high density housing though small ammounts of housing could be accommodated but not 54 units which is an unacceptable level of housing density.

support mixed use for this site, particularly since it can act as an extension to the site offer at A29.

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

Contaminated Land Issues - assessment likely to be required due to previous uses

Assessment of flood risk should inform the layout of development. Possible constraints where in close proximity to the Combe Haven (Main river).

Opportunity to improve the ecology & morphology of Combe Haven outfall. Bulverhythe Shingle Beach & Cliffs SNCI, vegetated shingle restoration 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.

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.

Flood risk - Site area 0.89 ha, 54 housing units and commercial premises - too dense would mean high rise flats.
