The preferred strategy is not 'holistic' and it does not take into account some of the key factors that effect economic development. This is particularly the case in the approach to Rye.
No attempt has been made to balance the social and economic needs of Rye against the "environmental factors". The Council's approach is to use environmental constraints as a reason for minimising the level of development.
Rye is suffering unacceptable levels of social and economic depriviation. It is not acceptable to implement policies that preserve the status quo in terms of the environment if those policies do not bring about socio-economic improvements.
