* In the preamble to OSS2, it is stated that regard must be had to potential Link Road slippage (Para 7.64). Para 7.65 comments that in response to slippage, higher levels of growth at Battle and Rye would be unsustainable while diverting further growth to villages would be incompatible with the strategy for limited growth of villages and the priority to conservation of the High Weald. What if funding for the Link Road was refused? Whether the Link road is delayed or cancelled, it is doubtful whether Battle, Rye and villages will reach their capacity for development if the levels of growth indicated in the Plan are achieved. The challenge for the Council is to find ways of unlocking further potential.
