We support the existing policy strategy of the adopted Local Plan, which seeks to maintain the residential and employment functions of the town, together with its character, as stipulated by Policy RY1.

We consider the Council will need to encourage some housing and employment growth during the Plan period to sustain the vitality of Rye as a market town and meet local needs. Previously developed sites within the existing settlement boundary, and directly adjacent to it, should be used fully to contribute to accommodating this growth, prior to the use of greenfield sites.
