Main Modifications to the Proposed Submission Core Strategy

Representation ID: 21351

Received: 25/09/2013

Respondent: Croudace Strategic Ltd

Agent: Portchester Planning Consultancy

Representation Summary:

The revisions to paragraph 12.13 are supported because they are based on an increased overall housing requirement of 'at least' 5,700 additional dwellings in the period 2011 to 2028, derived from the SHMA Update: Housing Needs Assessment (June 2013). Further, the increased allocation for the 'villages' is supported as this acknowledges that the villages, especially the larger Rural Service Centres (such as Robertsbridge) have a greater capacity to absorb additional development than the draft plan has previously recognised.
