You state that the capacity for development on this site indicates a capacity for 7 dwellings. However a planning application has now been submitted for fourteen flats. How does this over development collate with the information contained within this consultation document? Why has the density doubled?

An application for this site has been submitted for 14 flats, which is to replace the bungalow that now exists. This is over development of a small site, which will cause additions stress on the infrastructure, and additional traffic in an already overcrowded area. There is an application to build 14 flats on the adjacent site, and a development of 14 flats in the vacinity is already under construction. 42 flats in an area that was previously 3 private properties is definitely over development. Why are developers allowed to avoid providing social housing (15)?

support residential use but to be considered along with adjacent sites at D41 and C02

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

Both D40 & D41 have outline planning permission, subject to legal agreement, for 7 and 14 units respectively. C02 has no planning status at the moment, but planners fancy 31 units. All this seems like over-development at first glance, and I also wonder whether the combined sites should be considered for educational use.

Don't think outline permission given. Nett capacity too high - should be houses

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.
