Given the amount of development proposals approved by Rother in Northiam, why is there any need for even this small site? The number of six further dwellings can easily be absorbed within the Plan period by a process of natural planning evolution. It is an example where the windfall policy for rural Rother simply does not work and the village should actually be credited with all new dwellings within their development boundary, not just for sites over 5 in number.
