The amendment of the amount of employment land to be included for the "villages" to "at least" 10,000 sq.m. does not take account that 2 of the 3 employment sites in Marley Lane are in Sedlescombe. Only one of the three employment sites in Marley Lane is in Battle parish (Rutherfords). The importance of the Marley Lane sites to Sedlescombe parish and their contribution to the villages' total of employment land should not be under-estimated. There are two current applications for businesses on these sites ie winery and salt depot, both in the parish of Sedlescombe.
