Replacement Policy RA1 is supported because it is 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), which is supported. Further, the increased allocation for the villages of 1,670 dwellings is also supported because it acknowledges that the villages, especially the larger Rural Service Centres (such as Robertsbridge) have greater capacity to absorb additional development than the draft plan has previously recognised.
