A key characteristic of the High Weald National Landscape is its intrinsically dark skies. This should be included in the text of 3.53.

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.

This contradicts the proposal to build a number of houses BAT0014 which is currently beautiful farmland that is home to much wildlife.

The phrase "well wooded landscape" understates the significance of the High Weald. More ancient woodland survives in the High Weald than anywhere else in the country, and at 8%, compared with a national average of 3%, it has the highest coverage of ancient woodland in any protected landscape.
