THREE large homes developments have been given the green light for Bexhill after a recent planning committee meeting.
Rother District Council’s planning committee approved the three applications after plenty of debate the seven hour meeting.
The applications were submitted by Gladman Developments Limited and could lead to nearly 500 homes being constructed on the northern edge of the seaside town.
The largest of the three proposed developments would be situated at the Kiteye Farm site in Ninfield Road, where up to 250 homes are planned.
In addition, there are likely to be 130 homes at Mayo Lane plus 80 more in Watermill Lane.
However, the developments have by no means been met with universal approval by local residents, with concerns raised over loss of green space and whether the existing infrastructure will be able to cope.
At present approval was granted on the proviso that further applications will be required or exact details of the plans will be required before actual construction on the homes can commence.
With demand for more homes in Bexhill reaching unprecedented levels, it is patently clear that new homes are required in the town which no doubt led to the decision to give the schemes the go-ahead.
