There has been a loss of local facilities and lack of affordable housing is a problem.

Redevelopment of the Robertsbridge Mill site would provide the opportunity to re-use land for local affordable housing.

Redevelopment of sites for housing or mixed-use schemes provides opportunities for people to stay in the villages and potentially for some small-scale employment opportunities. Opportunities within rural areas should not be ignored.

Development in rural areas should focus on service centres. Larger villages, with good rail and road connections, should take the major share of development to ensure that local facilities and businesses have support.
