Core Strategy Consultation on Strategy Directions 2008

Representation ID: 19390

Received: 29/01/2009

Respondent: Rother Environmental Group

Representation Summary:

When reviewing the environmental options for Rother a list of the natural assets of our local environment should be included. This includes the fact that this sunny southern coastal region is especially suitable for solar power. There are also thousands of hectares of poorly managed woodlands, in particular chestnut coppice, that could provide fuel and, by being actively managed, benefit biodiversity. ( this is mentioned in para 9.69 on page 80 but deserves another mention here)
