The mill site at Robertsbridge should be included for residential development. It is an opportunity for redevelopment within the village boundary.
The Local Public Inquiry Inspector stated that this was a suitable site for development but there had been inadequate investigation of its suitability for continuing employment use or of the form which redevelopment might take. If continued employment use of the whole site is shown not to be feasible, there should be a preference for mixed-use including employment.
The site has since been marketed and further work carried out. The site should be included in the assessment of likely supply on previously developed land and buildings.
