I propose the following amendments:-
1. The northern boundary of the site abuts the remembrance garden of the cemetery and a buffer zone should be established between any development and the cemetery with appropriate landscaping and screening. This would ensure the privacy and peace of the people using the remembrance garden.
2. The density of the developments off of Barnhorn Road is just below 20 dwellings per hectare (RR/2015/3115/P is 3.41 hectares for 67 dwellings and RR/2015/3125 is 14.1 hectares for 275 dwellings). On the same basis the potential for the land adjacent to Cemetery Lodge /276 Turkey Road (1.2 hectares) would be 24 dwellings (subject to the buffer zone mentioned above).
3. The Land Registry entry (ESX 260039) for the site contains a covenant to the benefit of Rother District Council whereby the site cannot be used for any purpose other than the development of an indoor bowls centre and associated facilities. The site was owned by Rother District Council until its sale in 2002 for £70,000 with the covenant in place. Release of the covenant would increase the value of the site by £2-3 million which should be the sum charged by Rother for the release. In view of the material cost of releasing the covenant its existence should be included as a key constraint for developing the site.
