It may be helpful to link the SA Objectives with the 'Priority' column in Table 8.1 (p.87), to indicate with greater clarity the targets that will be used to monitor each SA Objective.

In Table 8.1, the priority 'Landscape Quality' target should be more specific, and could be amended to, for example: Maintain and improve from current levels the condition of Rother's landscape character areas, as indicated in the Landscape Character Assessment for the District. The Landscape Character Assessment provides the evidence base for assessing the impact of the Core Strategy on landscape character, but is not itself an actual target.
