Representation ID: 21212

Received: 11/11/2011

Representation Summary:

In principle Ticehurst Parish Council approves of the draft plan. It is accepted that Ticehurst Parish is a rural service centre and the Council is keen to maintain and reinstate the retail character of the village centre. It is further accepted that it is necessary to maintain the viability of the village through limited growth and somewhat reluctantly accept the target of 45-65 properties - however, it is important that as a Service Centre, if targets are not achieved elsewhere in the District, that Ticehurst Parish is not deemed as being able to take more.
