Respondent: Campaign for a Democratic Rye

Strategic sites
a) These include the former Freda Gardham, Tilling Green School sites and the Thomas Peacock Lower School site, with land north of the railway. The future of these sites must be subject to full local public discussion before development takes place. They must be used for the greatest benefit of the community.

b)The proposed Rock Channel Development
has only been discussed in bare outline. Extended public discussion is also required on plans for this area, and possibly in relation to a Marina.

If SPDs are not appropriate, then other forms of comment should be instituted before sites are specifically allocated.

Design quality in the built environment is of great importance for Rye. This does not always happen.
