we Support the proposals but would like to see the inclusion of a sheltered/assisted housing scheme for Robertsbridge. This could free up larger houses but enable older residents to stay close to their relatives and friends and allow them to continue their existing social interaction and interests.

Sedlescombe Parish Council supports an innovative approach to looking after older people which will allow people as they grow older to remain, and if need be nursed, within in their own communities.

Paragraphs 10.61 to 10.66

New homes need to be built with elderly people in mind. We need large houses with rooms for older, retired parents to be looked after, a design, where one can be separate but under one roof. The same houses would be good for young people for friends and nannies. All new developments should include a portion of care/nursing homes.
