Main Modification 'Unsound'
Proposals will damage the Rural Charm of Robertsbridge
Proposals will pose a major Flood Risk to Robertsbridge
Congestion will become a major issue for the village
Not 'Legally Compliant'
There has been not effective consultation of the proposals. I as with my neighbours were completely unaware to the strategy.
Main Modification 'Unsound'
I am of the opinion that such a large number or houses will severely damage the rural charm of Robertsbridge. Contrary to Rother District Councils (RDC) own 'Key Test for Growth'.
I feel that a development will also pose a major flood risk to Robertsbridge, as rain water will run off the development placing homes at risk of flooding.
Main Modification Strategy Not Legally Compliant
I feel that with the high number of houses proposed parking and congestion will be detrimental to the Rural Charm of the Village. This will become worse over time due to the trend of children living at home into their twenties or thirties. This could certainly not be considered sustainable for the village.
Not
