Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

Main Modification unsound.
The large percentage increase in proposed houses is not compatible with the RDC Sustainability Appraisal because of destruction of greenfield sites and large increase in already severe traffic congestion.
Main Modification not legally compliant.
Not compliant with the Sustainable Community Strategy which envisions reducing impact of traffic. Housing increase will add to already major congestion in the High St, Station Road, Brightling Rd which results largely from vehicle parking. More houses will require either large free car park close to station or widening of existing roads which will conflict with Sustainability Appraisal and Strategy.
