If the Council accept that their housing target of 5700 is a minimum it cannot include unidentified sites within its housing land supply as this is the only means available over the Plan period capable of delivering housing numbers above the minimum figure.
Delete the windfall and Exemption sites from the Housing figures In Appendix 3
In the amended Appendix 3 Housing :Component of Housing Supply for period 2011 to 2028 the Council have made an allowance of 460 small windfall sites and 65 Rural Exemption Site Allowance giving a total of 525 unidentified sites over the plan period. The Council state that "at least 5700 dwellings" will be delivered over the plan period (yet accept that their housing need is 6180). The only way the minimum target of 5700 could be exceeded is via unidentified sites. Therefore to have around 10% of its minimum housing requirement already identified as windfall/exemption sites suggest that 5700 in reality is not a minimum housing figure as it already includes the only unidentified housing supply component over the 17 year plan period. Where else is any future housing supply likely to come from to exceed 5700 other than unidentified sites?

Replacement Appendix 3 is supported because it reflects the increased overall housing requirement of 'at least' 5,700 additional dwellings for the period 2011 to 2028. Further, Appendix 3 also reflects the increase in the allocation for the villages to 1,670 additional dwellings in the plan period, which is supported.

The plan to increase housing in Bexhill by 850 more properties than was originally allocated is a slight concern. Any proposals for development will need to satisfy the HA in terms of access to the A259 and the traffic impact. Should the core strategy be adopted the Council shall need to work with the HA to mitigate the impact on the A259.

We believe that there may be an error in Appendix 3. The table only shows a current allocation of 14 units at Battle. As far as we are aware there is no planning permission in place for residential development at the Blackfriars site, although we aware that the Council has resolved to approve application RR/2007/1896. The table should be amended to show a current allocation of at least 220 dwellings under the provisions of Policy BT2 of the 2006 Adopted Local Plan
