Bexhill Town Profile - Rother District Council

Need ambitious approach to be adopted to save town centre.
Difficult to see how town centre will benefit from new population planned
around fringes.
High quality hotel not needed.
Encourage vibrant modern town tastefully linked to seafront.
Any redevelopment of Town Hall Square must include Sainsburys and an
associated car park to maintain balance of town centre convenient with
Ravenside out-of-town retail park.
Car parking in town centre should be reviewed. Suggest need some form
of multi-storey car park - probably as part of Sainsbury’s re-development.
Remainder of town should be metered but seafront should remain free.
Be realistic… Bexhill is a seaside residential town and plan accordingly.
Sea Front:
Regeneration of area priority over seafront improvements.
How would seafront improvements be paid for?
Should be a 20 mph speed limit to seafront.
Road junctions should provide for safer pedestrian access across to
seafront.
Housing:
Should be more flexible approach to land supply and development
locations.
Land at west Bexhill deliverable without significant new public
infrastructure.
No “Plan B” if no delivery of north-east Bexhill.
Extended westward development from link road is not supported and
unlikely to be achievable. Omit it or at least its link to A269.
Need more details about “development west of A269 “(para 6.34)
otherwise omit.
Plans for north and west Bexhill would destroy or prejudice green space.
