The inclusion of Rye in the coastal belt may be geographically tidy but the special constraints of landscape and heritage militate against any significant housing development in Rye apart for new developments in the industrial zoning in Rye Harbour Road. Rye would be more appropriately included in the â€~rural’ rather than the â€~coastal belt’.

We support the findings in the draft South East Plan that there is no scope for greenfield expansion to the east of Eastbourne/Hailsham and Bexhill. We urge the LDF to incorporate this conclusion.
