Full text:

CPRE Sussex welcomes and supports the Vision for Rother in 2028, particularly the following elements:

There is a strong commitment to a more sustainable, low carbon future and adapting to climate change. There is sensitive stewardship of environmental resources and conservation of the area's outstanding environmental and cultural assets.

The inland and essentially rural areas of Rother, falling mainly within the High Weald AONB, retain their essential local character.

The character and diversity of villages has also been retained. They are vibrant and inclusive, having evolved organically in a manner sensitive to their surroundings.

The countryside continues to be protected for its intrinsic value as well as being more accessible and economically active, while change is carefully managed to respect its character.
