Proposed Submission Development and Site Allocations (DaSA) Local Plan

Representation ID: 24132

Received: 06/12/2018

Respondent: Peasmarsh Parish Council

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Yes

Representation Summary:

In responding to the consultation document Peasmarsh Parish Council wishes to state that it has neither the resources nor expertise to enable it to fully research all of the associated documentation for Rother District Council DaSA and Local Plan proposals and as such its response may not necessarily be in a format that the examiner may be accustomed to or under the correct test heading of Legal Compliance, Soundness and Duty to Cooperate.
Nevertheless it would urge the examiner to give due consideration to the genuine concerns and points being raised by the council on behalf of all its residents.
The parish council offers no opinion regarding correct procedure being followed but would point out that the community involvement aspect of the compliance has taken place over an extended period spanning quite a number of years as well as seeming to be somewhat disjointed and that it had not been consulted on the need for an additional play area in the village during RDC's process of formulating a DaSA Local Plan.
It is Peasmarsh Parish Council's considered opinion the proposed site should be rejected for the reasons given and as such the plan fails to meet the test of soundness.
