The chart showing various housing figures broken down into parishes is not easily understood.
1. The footnotes are much too small to read and some are not required if the additional text is inserted after Fig 12 as proposed.
2. The "All completions" column has been changed from "All completions 2006-2011" to "All net completions in plan period 01/04/2011 to 31/03/2013". The previous Plan was dated 2006, should the fitures for completions remain as from 2006?. Is it justified to add the word "net" to this column?
3. The current commitments column heading has been changed from the previous heading "Commitments 2011 to 2028 (allocations and permissions)" to simply "Current Commitments". The content of the column has also been changed to current commitments as at April 2013. The heading needs to clearly show what is being shown.
4. Proposed new Core Strategy sites are shown as having to be within or immediately abutting a village while the current commitments and net completion columns are shown for development across the parish. Like is not being compared with like.
5. The number allocated for Sedlescombe at 35 is not justified because it is too high a percentage increased from the 25 previously shown (the previous figure included 8 new affordable homes at East View Terrace and 35 does not. This is therefore actually a 106% increase from 17 to 35. Compare this with the total increase for all the villages ie from 1,000 to 1,670. A 67% increase for Sedlescombe would be 27 or 28 additional properties.
