We welcome a policy regarding external space for dwellings but it should apply to all houses of whatever size. We believe that sympathetic provision of waste bin AND cycle storage is essential for all new developments.

We have specific car parking provisions in the SRNP (IN1 and IN2) because of serious pressure for on-street parking, . We believe the provision should be higher than in CS Policy TR4, acknowledging 'the location' of any development. We suggest in areas like Robertsbridge a minimum standard of one parking space per bedroom up to a maximum of three plus one visitor space.
