Croudace welcomes the acceptance that delays in the North-East Bexhill urban extension has created a Structure Plan housing requirement shortfall. The Core Strategy should rectify this early in the Strategy period (before 2011) by prioritising the delivery of sites, firstly bringing forward Local Plan sites to meet the shortfall. PPS3 requires Council’s to demonstrate a rolling 5 year housing supply.
The â€~Drivers for Change’ section and the Strategy should bring forward suitable sites in the short term to deliver affordable and market housing. Specifically, the Core Strategy should release existing phased sites e.g. land at Grove Farm, Robertsbridge.
