No mention is made in the Document to South East Plan Policy T10 re ports and short sea shipping.

Rye Harbour is of regional rather than national significance but the Port of Rye is projecting trade increases and has capacity to accommodate larger vessels. The Port has established markets. Moving cargo by sea reduces carbon dioxide emissions and relieves regional roads of heavy commercial traffic. Increases in sea-borne cargoes with the continuing development of the Harbour Road employment area makes a major road improvement at A259-Rye Harbour Road junction and the bridge over the Brede sluice an absolute priority.
