After redevelopment, sea site most comfortable (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

easiest

'most comfortable' is the definition.
('easy' can be similar in meaning to 'comfortable')

'after redevelopment sea site' is the wordplay.
'after redevelopment' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sea'+'site'='seasite'
'seasite' is an anagram of 'EASIEST'.

(Other definitions for easiest that I've seen before include "most amenable" , "Requiring the least amount of effort" , "Most effortless" , "Least hard" , "Most convenient" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
