Respondent: Aroncorp Ltd
Agent: Broadlands
The planning appeal decision has established that the Local Plan residential allocation at Udimore Road is a sustainable location where there are no overriding constraints to development. Further studies are not required to acknowledge that land to the west and south of the Local Plan allocation is a suitable location for development.
The Strategy should acknowledge this fact and identify this as a preferred location.
With regard to paragraphs 8.31 - 8.33 the recent appeal decision permitting the residential development of the Local Plan allocation at Udimore Road, Rye has established that this is a sustainable location where there are no overriding landscape, infrastructure or traffic constraints that outweigh the need to make best use of suitable land for development (see comments under paragraph 5.61). The respondent owns a total of more than 11 hectares of land at Udimore Road of which the area to be developed for housing pursuant to the planning permission granted on appeal in 2008 is limited to 3.8 hectares. Further detailed work is not required here to determine impacts. Existing work has shown that land to the west and south of the Local Plan allocation RY5 is suitable for development. The Strategy should acknowledge this fact and identify this as a preferred location.
