Representation Summary:

The insert paragraph 7.29 and 7.30 only confirm that over the last 20 years Rother has failed to meet its objectively assessed housing needs.

The Council acknowledge that "possible opportunities for further housing over time cannot be ruled out" hence the Council has set a minimum housing target of 5700 dwellings over the Plan period. This suggests that there is already additional housing capacity available that has just not been properly assessed.
