Option 1 is broadly supported. Incremental growth in/next to rural settlements is supported where it maintains the town’s vitality and meets local housing/employment needs. Through the LDF, the Local Plan allocation at Udimore Road can be reconsidered and other, more sustainable, housing sites identified.
The Council should review settlement boundaries to make the best use of previously developed sites and avoid inappropriate development in Rye.
Cadborough Farm lies adjacent to Rye’s development boundary in the AONB. It is 1km from Rye’s centre, has not been used for agriculture since 1992 and is currently used for holiday lets.
