Core Strategy Consultation on Strategy Directions 2008

Representation ID: 19611

Received: 30/01/2009

Respondent: Rother and Hastings CPRE

Representation Summary:

Page 76 Box 17 We broadly support the proposals here, but want to emphasise the need to check the current policies regarding the retention of local shops in view of the recent appeal decision exposing deficiencies in the policy. Improvements for cycling and walking including where relevant the promotion of homes zones and quiet lanes should be sought. RDC has a poor record thus far in extracting the developer's shilling and must improve on that record with the advent of CIL.
We do not believe in the light of current DoT pronouncements that the provisions relating to foreseeing the A21 improvements should stand.
