Representation Summary:

The proposed policy OSS1 does not reflect the planning advice set out in the Government's Draft National Policy Framework in that there is too much of a brake on future land release for housing. Rother District should have a minimum release of at least 5,600 dwellings as previously agreed in the South East Plan. Policy OSS1 should relate to this figure to enable more housing to come forward, especially in the key rural villages such as Ticehurst.
