Representation ID: 22357

Respondent: Salehurst & Robertsbridge Parish Council
On average, homes built in the UK have smaller room sizes than other Western European countries, so we welcome imposition of minimum internal space standards.

On accessibility, we wish to see Option C (higher standard) even though the scope for sites of 50+ are limited in rural areas, but we would wish to see older people have the opportunity to live in appropriate accommodation in their home villages if possible.
Specifically regarding options for Older People, we feel that suitable options for rural developments would be your options A, C, D, E, especially as Robertsbridge is a rural service centre.
