The Upper Ore Valley - 'Speckled Wood' (A01 and A30) Options for Protecting Areas of Land

We oppose the development of the Upper Ore Valley, which is also called 'Speckled Wood'. Of the three options proposed in the consultation, I/we support option C which would protect all the land in the Upper Ore Valley that does not have planning consent. However, I/we would prefer to see the area of land next to Victoria Avenue also protected even though it has planning permission.

We support the aims of Ore Community Land Trust that the whole area should be redesignated as protected green space and enhanced for community use and protection of wildlife habitat.

The surrounding built up area is densely populated and there are no other accessible green spaces for leisure or chlidren's play to comply with the Hastings Borough Council policy aim - 90% of households should have access to green space within 300 metres of their home by 2013.

The valley is a wooded and steeply sided ghyll and should have been included in the Council's Parks and Open Spaces Strategy. The woodland and footpaths have been used by local people of all ages for very many years.

The valley is entirely unsuitable for development due to the steep sides and restrictions to road access onto the very busy Old London Road.

Children need somewhere to play, there is no area around here for them to play. Option B.

I feel that turning Speckled Wood into housing will hugely impact on the wildlife that are habitating. This area is already over crowded and we do not need any more houses in this area.
