The Councils broad strategy to focus development along the coastal part of the District is based upon SE Plan -now revoked. The Council has an obligation under Duty to Cooperate to work with Local Planning authorities on "strategic priorities" which should be properly coordinated and clearly reflected in individual Local Plans.
The Councils latest response to this obligation is to send out a letter questionnaire to all neighbouring authorities. NPPF duty to cooperate requires a greater robust approach to enable Rother DC to prove it can indeed meet its objectively assessed development needs and thus prove its Plan is sound.
