We are surprised that there is no reference to or support suggested for sports clubs. Organised sports are a particularly effective means of encouraging healthy activity.

In order to offset the cumulative effects of housing within the Rother District on surrounding European Sites of conservation importance, it will be necessary for local authorities to work closely together, particular with regard to the delivery of new or enhanced open space. Integrated natural open spaces will be required to mitigate residential disturbance to European sites of conservation importance from new housing developments identified in the Core Strategy. A clear mitigation framework is required which provides:
• an evidence base for quantifying the current and predicted recreational impacts on Natura 2000 sites arising from policies in the Plan
• justification for proposed mitigation measures and standards
• methods for securing funding (ex. developer contributions)
and details of capital works or enhancement measures necessary
