(BAT00014) will cause issues for local school children who already use the public footpath as a safe and accessible space to walk to school. Building here will result in a road which then places children at risk of accident

Section 4.3 and 4.4
The proposed allocated site for Fairlight although it appears to be part of the village could only be accessed from Pett Level Road creating a distance from the village amenities, these distances are not insubstantial being about 1300m to the village pub with similar or longer distance to the Village Hall and the recreation area. Residents would need to traverse a very narrow footpath on Pett Level Road, which is a bus route with double decker buses, making this almost impossible for families with children and pushchairs, or indeed people in mobility scooters to use this footpath safely. Contrary to the outline summary provided by Rother concerning the Draft Local Plan in Fairlight, the village also lacks amenities such as a doctor surgery, a village shop and post office (i.e. no access to banking services etc.), or a local primary school, which is easily accessible by public transport. This doesn’t fulfil Policy LWL3.

There are more practical difficulties to achieve ‘live well locally’ in rural communities where infrastructure and facilities are not as developed as in urban areas.
