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

Representation ID: 22353

Received: 19/02/2017

Respondent: Salehurst & Robertsbridge Parish Council

Representation Summary:

We believe that RDC should work with the High Weald AONB Unit to encourage the use of local sources of biomass/wood fuel, but recognise that large scale importation of wood fuel from outside the District would need to be very carefully controlled in view of the problems created by such traffic.

In any policy, use of locally sourced biomass/wood fuel should be encouraged, particularly for any commercial/industrial developments. It should be policy that all dwellings, wherever possible, should be built with chimneys to allow for the possibility of the use of wood burners.
