Representation Summary:

Main Modification Unsound
The extra houses planned for Robertsbridge would be visible and detract from the rural aspect and charm of the village. Building on fields will mean less absorption of water and more danger of flooding. Flood defences were built to cater for the existing number of houses in the village. Will existing sewage facilities be sufficient?
There is already parking congestion in the village and there will be more congestion and danger to pedestrians crossing the road, particularly by the school.
Main Modification Not Legally Compliant
It is a strategic priority to protect the natural environment. Extra building does not.
