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.

I would support this view of old rural/farming buildings if ONLY Rother would actually use it! It has already shown that it has no regard by allowing the most historic farm, with ancient roadways and listed buildings to be transformed into a housing estate. I have no confidence that this wording would stop them from doing this in any other location.

The HELAA proposed site (BAT0014) of 100 houses would vastly degrade the topography of the land surrounding two of Battle's most distinctive buildings Lower Almonry Farmhouse and Almonry Oast house (currently visible from The Abbey). The proposed access road would directly bisect these two historic properties (a bisecting road would certainly be an inappropriate edge of settlement development). Both of theses buildings would succumb to ' Suburbanisation of landscape character' the impact of road building within a matter of feet from these buildings should be avoided at all costs.
