The snappy punchline of 'Green to the core' and 'Live well locally' is a bold attempt to show a commitment to protecting rural communities and local ecology but your HELAA land allocation of CAT0001 and potential site CAT0016 in Catsfield fly in the face of these claims/promises. The proposal of 60 new houses (some proposing to be built on protected AONB land) in this small rural village (doubling the size of the main village), is absolutely shocking and I object strongly to these sites being included for allocation in this plan. These proposals would not only destroy ancient woodland, biodiversity and protected wildlife habitats, they would also severely impact the lives of local residents with increased pollution and a serious decline in the already insufficient utilties and local infrastructure.

We would consider carefully the distances involved as they need to take into consideration topography and the speed at which different active travelers can move. Cycling distances can be greater and greater more if ebikes are considered as a way of opening up rural areas.

LIVING WELL LOCALLY – RESPONSE TO Q 30/31/32
We support the policies in this section of the draft Plan that seek to implement the 20-minute neighbourhood as we feel that Rye is ideally suited to contributing to this important idea. As we have described above, the current uses of the Rye Creative Centre site currently embody this concept, as the existing building provides locally accessible employment premises and community facilities.
As we have pointed out in our response to other questions in the draft Local Plan, there is no acknowledgment in the assessment of the Rye Creative Centre site (Site RYE0004 in the HELAA) that, as well as being an employment site for 35 businesses since 2009, Rye Creative Centre currently provides a shared community resource with rentable facilities and spaces that are within easy walking and cycling distance of all parts of Rye. The shared facilities at Rye Creative Centre are actively used by the local community for activities such as art and leisure classes, adult and junior choirs, concerts, exhibitions, entertainment and health and well-being activities. This is a cultural and community facility whose current use by all ages makes an important contribution now to the “living well locally’ aims of the Local Plan and in our view, it is important to retain this on this site.
