PPS7 makes clear that within rural areas, Planning Authorities should focus most new
development in or near to Local Service Centres and that these should be identified in
Development Plan Documents as the preferred location for development.
The Rother District Council Rural Settlements Study identifies Robertsbridge as a Rural Service
Centre, having regard to its extensive services and level of accessibility by non-car modes of
transport.
Having regard to both these factors, strong support is given to the Council's identification of the
settlement of Robertsbridge as benefiting from "development potential" as identified on the
District Key Diagram to accompany the Core Strategy Document.
