As a small parish council we do not feel that we are qualified to know whether the document is legally compliant or not but would like to the male the following general observations:

1. It is important to protect the environment and countryside especially SSSI's, AONB and ancient woodlands
2. It is important to have affordable housing - local housing for local people.
3. It is important to create employment for local people if our villages are to survive
4. We are of the opinion that the Scats site at Robertsbridge is ideal for affordable housing/industrial (close to A21).
