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

Representation ID: 23170

Received: 19/02/2017

Respondent: Rother Environmental Group

Representation Summary:

We support Option C.

However, we encourage a higher percentage of affordable homes than the legal requirement.

We note with approval the following clause in the 2015 RDC HECA Report: Measures we are taking to improve energy efficiency in new affordable homes.

Rother District Council remains committed to increasing the energy efficiency of all new affordable homes. This is currently achieved by imposing Developers and Registered Providers, a minimum planning policy requirement - that requires all new affordable homes to achieve a minimum sustainable code level three or above.
