Mod 12.2 Para 12.14
The deleted paragraph reflects the reality that the rural areas have taken the greater share of development. It was always agreed that this trend was to be reversed by concentrating new development in the coastal strip.
To replace this fact with the proposal that a higher level of housing in rural areas is responding to need is demonstrably untrue. The so-called 'need' has been imposed on Rother District Council. Maximising sustainable growth in rural areas contradicts the ability to prevent negative impacts on the character of individual villages and inevitably means the loss of open countryside.
