Development and Site Allocations (DaSA) Local Plan - Options and Preferred Options

Representation ID: 22306

Received: 15/02/2017

Respondent: Fairlight Parish Council

Representation Summary:

While supporting the strategic gap, and understanding the rationale for the extension, we would like to have time to discuss this matter with the residents living in the immediate vicinity, and the wider village, to ascertain their views before a final decision is made.

Fairlight Parish Council is currently developing a Neighbourhood Plan and it would be much better for this matter to be addressed as part of that process, rather than residents being presented with a fait accompli which may undermine trust in the openness and integrity of the Neighbourhood Plan.
