Figure 6: Map of Rother Showing Biodiversity Opportunity Areas 2.26 BOAs provides a focus for enhancement, restoration and creation of BAP habitats in the district at a strategic scale. Opportunities exist for improvements around the Bexhill urban areas. For further details please refer to the Green Infrastructure Background Paper. Housing Profile 2.27 Household sizes are small in Rother when compared to the national and regional average. However, there are notable differences within Bexhill. Whilst Sackville has a very low average household size of 1.69, other areas are similar to the national average. The majority of households within Bexhill are owner-occupied (78.4%) and, of these, 48.5% are owned outright. These figures are slightly above that of Rother as a whole and well above national levels. The social rented stock is concentrated geographically to the northeast of the town, particularly Sidley Ward. There is minimum social housing in St Marks’ Ward. 2.28 Census information in 2001 breaks down households in Bexhill by 5 different household types. The most common household type within Bexhill is ‘married couple households’, although the proportion of this type is lower than wider Rother and the south east. Bexhill exhibits low proportions of ‘cohabiting couple households’ and ‘other multi-person households’. Bexhill has relatively 14
high proportions of one person households compared to other areas, perhaps reflecting the relatively elderly nature of the population. Please refer to the document - Part 2 Appendices and Maps for further details. 15
