Representation ID: 22639

Received: 20/02/2017

Respondent: Salehurst & Robertsbridge Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group

Representation Summary:

§12.9
We are concerned about the wording in this paragraph, with regard to parishes that have made the considerable efforts in achieving their own Neighbourhood Plans. They should not suffer by Rother using this paragraph to approve other sites within the geographical scope of their Neighbourhood Plan which were properly dismissed as part of the review leading up to the Neighbourhood Plan. The second sentence should therefore contain a reference in the 'have regard to' of the existence of the Neighbourhood Plan and acceptance of its planning principles.
