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

Representation ID: 22590

Received: 19/02/2017

Respondent: Gullivers Action Group

Representation Summary:

No, I do not agree. It is a greenfield site which should not be allocated for development. The existing club is a CASC and as such should cater for the community and the need for healthier lifestyles through sport participation. Rother's own Open Space, Sport and Recreation Study singled out the Knole Road site as being of particular high value, has not been fully considered. A green open space within a development boundary should be protected in its entirety and in perpetuity, as it formed part of the very 'English' character of this area.
