I saw the plans for the new ‘hidden road’ linking the Hastings/Bexhill Link Road to Ninfield Road, with a roundabout on Watermill Lane.

I am not opposed to the road, as it was stated earlier this year that is was designed to remove the additional traffic arising from the new development, north of Sidley , to the Ninfield Road, with a bridge over Watermill Lane.

However, the present planning application RR/2015/2260/P shows a roundabout on Watermill Lane which is crazy, as it will give all that traffic from the Link Road, literally thousands of houses , a new rat run to Catsfield and Battle.

It will utilize Watermill Lane, a narrow country lane with no footpaths, high hedges and an official width restriction at the bridge.
