Proposed Submission Core Strategy

Representation ID: 20847

Received: 05/11/2011

Respondent: Mrs Paula Swift

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

The Rural Settlement Strategy (Nov 2008) is already 3 years old and therefore outdated. It relies, in part, upon data taken from the 2001 Census which is now outdated. The Issues and Options paper was published in 2006, now outdated, the Parish Council Event was held in Nov 2002, now outdated, and the Housing Needs Study (Parishes) is dated 2001, 11 years ago! As such, the evidence base is therefor not credible.

Proposed Submission Core Strategy

Representation ID: 20909

Received: 10/11/2011

Respondent: Fairlight Parish Council

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

To note the publication of the Fairlight Action Plan. (Covering the whole of Fairlight Parish.)This shows very little internal need for new housing for the residents of Fairlight - six individuals were looking for accommodation and of those five were looking for sheltered accommodation. Also the Draft Rural Settlements Study Part 2 pages 45 & 48 shows a "relatively low level of demand from the housing register". This does not support any identification of Fairlight as needing development, nor does it support the unqualified statement that "Affordable housing is a particularly pressing community need in rural areas."
