Representation Summary:

Para 12.6 sets out 'Rural Areas Objectives' which in the main present sensible objectives. However, there is a need to make provision and inclusion of a rural housing objective to promote housing growth and to create more housing choice. Currently the objectives are too conservation based and need to be more flexible to cater for housing growth at a higher level than currently set out in the Core Strategy.

Respondent: Robertsbridge Enterprise Group

Representation Summary:

We support entirely the laudable objectives for rural areas listed in para 12.6 especially (iv) "thriving rural committees", (vi) "(reducing) the need to travel .... and supporting viable and accessible services and facilities within villages" and (xii) "(supporting) sustainable tourism and recreation including improved access to the countryside".

These objectives are entirely consonant with the aims and objectives of Robertsbridge Enterprise Group. However, we believe that the policies and proposals contained with the Rural Areas chapter do not match up to these objectives and would wish to see them strengthened in order to achieve the objectives.
