Part (II) is not required as this would be permitted by the settlement having an identified built up area boundary (which should be reviewed as part of the Housing DPD to permit small scale peripheral growth in addition to identified housing sites).

Part (III) should be retained as existing identified sites are part implemented.

Part (IV) while Battle has scope for peripheral expansion, in the Core Strategy this should be stated in broad terms without identifying 'areas of search'. This would otherwise prejudice a more detailed assessment and search at the Housing DPD allocations/built up area review stage and potentially prejudice suitable candidate sites outside the areas of search currently mentioned. For example, without a more detailed assessment there are no sound reasons for ruling out peripheral development in the Battle 'Section 2 and 3' areas identified in the Figure 2 of the Urban Options Background Paper.
