Respondent: Crowhurst Society

Representation Summary:

Surely it is fallacious to say that housing needs in RDC cannot be met without major road schemes.
5.10 Where is the evidence that this proposition works?
5.11 Is the provision of business premises the only driver for the economy -what other help can be given to local businesses? e.g. rate reductions!
5.18/19 Again what about local businesses that are already here? What help will they receive?
5.22 Really? Is this really the case?
The constraint of the SSSI has not stopped Rother supporting the Link Road and development on Greenfield sites next to Acton's Farm!
5.25 The greatest risk to lack of progress is the paralysis brought about by pinning too many plans on the back of the Link Road. Is there not a fall-back position?
5.31 Agreed.
5.32. Too strong.
Benefits of living in the countryside need to be set against the low level of service enjoyed in these areas.
5.65- needs to be underlined throughout.
