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

Representation ID: 22704

Received: 20/02/2017

Respondent: Miss Judith Rogers

Representation Summary:

As previously mentioned, paragraph 12.9 would appear to encourage additional development on site previously chosen by Rother, but now superseded in new plans. Mainly the change of sites will be in Neighbourhood Plans where alternative sites may have been chosen in place of those chosen earlier by Rother. Times change and places change. This paragraph shows that RDC are not fully engaging in the NP process and allowing villages/towns to make their own site selections and would suggest that RDC does not trust the NP process. This is against national policy and the NPPF.
