The inclusion of Policy LHN1(i) cannot be justified because the current and projected housing needs of Sedlescombe parish are unknown as the figures are so outdated having been gathered in 2001, ie 10 years ago.

The proposal to include at least 30% one or two bedroom dwellings is not justified as "The Affordable Housing" background paper states that the majority of affordable housing stock in the district already comprises of smaller dwellings. More larger family homes, it suggests, are needed.

Section (ii) of the policy states that in rural areas developments should provide a mix of housing sizes and types with at least 30% one and two bedroomed dwellings (being mostly 2 bed).
Whilst it is recognised that a Housing Needs Survey has been undertaken to inform the preparation of the Core Strategy it is considered that the above text is unduly prescriptive and does not allow for changes in housing market and associated changes in housing need as required by PPS 3.

It is important to have affordable housing - local housing for local people.
We are of the opinion that the Scats site at Robertsbridge is ideal for affordable housing/industrial (close to A21).
As a small parish council we do not feel that we are qualified to know whether the document is legally compliant or not but would like to the male the following general observations:
1. It is important to protect the environment and countryside especially SSSI's, AONB and ancient woodlands
2. It is important to have affordable housing - local housing for local people.
3. It is important to create employment for local people if our villages are to survive
4. We are of the opinion that the Scats site at Robertsbridge is ideal for affordable housing/industrial (close to A21).

Respondent: Ticehurst Parish Council
Ticehurst Parish carried out an independent Housing Needs Survey in 2010. The community do not want more housing. However, it is accepted in the SHLAA plan that Banky Field is available and suitable for development. The development there would satisfy the affordable need in Ticehurst and other sites need not be identified. Corner Farm at Flimwell will also provide more affordable homes within their 40% provision.
If targets are not met in other areas, Ticehurst as a Rural Service Centre should not have its quota increased. (See representation on Policy RA1).
Ticehurst Parish carried out an independent Housing Needs Survey in 2010 - an update on the 2007 carried out by AIRS. The community do not want more housing. However, it is accepted in the SHLAA plan that Banky Field is available and suitable for development. The development there would satisfy the affordable need in Ticehurst and therefore other sites need not be identified. Ticehurst would look to have pedestrian routes from Tinkers Lane through to Pickforde Lane so that walking to school on dry safe paths can be promoted. Corner Farm at Flimwell will also provide more affordable homes within their 40% provision.
