Representation Summary:

The premise that a figure of 5,600 is no longer sustainable depends on the time-scale of the plan.

Paragraph 11.19 of the 'Housing Provision in Rother District: Background Paper' (08/11) states that taking account of completions 2006-11, the new locally derived reduced housing target would equate to around 90-97% of the SEP target for 2006-2026 but spread over the extended period to 2028.

This indicates that such a total can be achieved over an appropriate period of time.

The 'key' issue relates to the actual delivery of housing completions. This is how the housing needs of the community will be met in reality.
