2.6 Under its Twin Overall Priorities, the Local Plan outlines 10 key planning issues, which directly feed into the Strategic Spatial Objectives. Among others, we outline specific support for the following issue which recognises the importance of meeting local demand for housing:
● Meeting the overall local demand and need for housing (including affordable and specialist need) and associated growth – taking a landscape and sustainability led approach across the district.

2.7 Seeking to meet the overall demand and need for housing aligns with the new government’s plans to reintroduce mandatory housing targets across each local planning authority in England by autumn of this year. Cognisant of this, Rother Council should be aiming to meet its housing needs in full.
