The size and scale of existing settlements and the level of services is the appropriate starting point for assessing the housing distribution stategy for the district. Although environment issues such as ANOB are factors in consideration of this strategy no evaluation of the impact of development on the setting of the ANOB has been considered by the Council. As a significant area of the District is covered in ANOB such an assessment of the strategic settlement of Robertsbridge has undervalued its future potential for sustainable development.
