I object to this plan as it will have a negative impact on the climate, and add to our problems with climate change. It will take away from the delicate alance of wildlife in the area.

Rother Local Plan 2020-2040 (Regulation 18)

Representation ID: 25131

Received: 11/07/2024

Respondent: Mrs Emma Weller

Representation Summary:

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.

Surely by considering such developments as BAT0014 you are ignoring climate change. in order to halt climate change we need to stop building on more countryside. This will also help protect wildlife.

Rother Local Plan 2020-2040 (Regulation 18)

Representation ID: 26757

Received: 23/07/2024

Respondent: James & Maggie Richardson

Number of people: 2

Representation Summary:

We have read the draft local plan 2020-2040 and are concerned to read that the council's stated priorities over the next 15 years are founded on the flawed presupposition that there is a climate emergency. The truth is that there is no climate crisis. The climate has always changed and mankind has lived through both warmer and cooler periods. Furthermore, carbon dioxide is not a pollutant but a vital trace gas and man-made CO2 emissions have no effect whatsoever on the climate.

We fear that the council's misguided and unachievable commitment to Net Zero will have a detrimental impact on our standard of living and on the freedoms we have come to take for granted.
