Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

The number of additional houses is disproportionate to the size of the village and does not correspond to limited growth. Rother has not completed a local needs consultation and therefore cannot be aware of local needs. Our Catsfield Local Plan states that residents did not want to see any major housing developments.

The scale of the developments which will be dictated by the caveat inserted after figure 12 will not be in character. Developments of more than six houses are not characteristic of the village. Current services will not be able to cope with such an influx.

The number of additional houses is disproportionate to the size of the village and does not correspond to limited growth. Rother has not completed a local needs consultation before this publication and therefore cannot be aware of local needs. Our current Catsfield Local Plan which has consulted local residents states that residents did not want to see any major housing developments

The scale of the developments which will be dictated by the caveat inserted after figure 12 in the Core Strategy will not be in character with the village. Developments of more than six houses are not characteristic of the village and the whole ethos of the village will change with such a large development. Current services will not be able to cope with such an influx.
