While it is acknowledged that in most parts of the south east region there is a critical shortage of affordable accommodation, the setting of thresholds should be carefully considered so as to avoid discouraging developers from bringing forward suitable housing sites or larger housing sites in sustainable locations. In the towns including Rye and Battle, there is no reason why this should not be set at 15 dwellings rather than any lower figure, given that these are the most suitable locations for accommodating the majority of the new housing needed to meet housing targets.
