Under the criteria, impact is listed. Impact should be defined and the definition include the necessity of small developments in villages. Robertsbridge over the last 10 years has increased by 200 homes. An increase can be absorbed if small developments are integrated, ie large estates are out of character and have a higher impact.

There is immense scope for providing high quality development by recognising the potential for existing poor quality sites to be redeveloped. As a brown-field resource, such sites are often within communities and residential areas where they act to the detriment of wider areas due to the existence of outdated and poorly designed buildings. Criteria should recognise this as a principle and valuable opportunity.

We Support the proposals but in addition, we feel that more emphasis should be placed in new building design on ensuring that porous surfacing should be used for driveways etc. - especially important in areas prone to flooding from river or surface run-off such as Robertsbridge - and more emphasis placed on energy efficiency.

Para 5.99(h) refers to "Safety, including flood risk and contamination". Erosion etc and also land drainage should be mentioned. Fairlight suffers from poorly drained soil, water logging and the underground passage of water which has been one of the causes of the Rockmead Road landslip.

Trinity College supports the general criteria for ensuring appropriate high quality development. However, the College suggests that commercial viability will be an equally important criterion upon which delivery of high quality development will be determined.

Biodiversity features should be designed into all developments for species alongside appropriate habitat creation, enhancement and protection. Developments should be designed in line with the principles of ecological networks.
