Representation Summary:

The Councils housing figure for Rye is unsound. It appears to rely upon " broad locations in the SHLAA, to maintain the option, but the likely yield is much reduced; it may well be nothing" (Councils Summary Appraisal on Housing Growth July 2013). The Council suggest further opportunities for identifying housing through redevelopment schemes none of which are identified or proven to be deliverable over the plan period.

For the Council (based upon the above) to suggest that a figure of 355/400 dwellings is deliverable in Rye is unjustified as this figure has not been robustly assessed.
