Development and Site Allocations (DaSA) Local Plan - Options and Preferred Options
Representation ID: 22360
Received: 19/02/2017
Respondent: Salehurst & Robertsbridge Parish Council
We agree that sensible controls are needed. However, we think the draft policy could be improved by:
a) including specific requirements for cycle storage;
b) car parking considerations could also be subject to the same parameters as Waste and Recycling, ie 'be considered at the outset, be integral to the development, respect visual amenities and streetscape character of the area';
c) given that there will be pressure to create housing with fewer than three bedrooms, we would argue for a minimum garden size of 10m2 for two bed houses.
