New houses for Robertsbridge is not legally compliant on greenfield sites as sustainable community strategy for Rother states -priority to protect our natural environments. Development of additional housing will increase traffic where streets are at present congested and reduced to single file traffic due to street parking. Particularly reducing access on a number of roads in the village.
Drives and building roofs will increase water run-off. Thus increasing flooding/flash flooding risk which Robertsbridge is already prone to. I was unaware of any consultation with the public for increased houses in Robertsbridge.
