Rother Local Plan 2020-2040 (Regulation 18)

Representation ID: 25458

Received: 16/07/2024

Respondent: dr linda parker

Representation Summary:

I cant see anything that looks at strategically planning, particular housing types for specified developments, for instance in the villages there is a severe shortage of starter homes and shared ownership that would allow local young families to stay in the area and work more locally. The cold harbour estate would be perfect for a small housing development, the 3 story terraced industrial units proposed, 14 in all, would lend themselves easily to small homes, perhaps up to 18, similar to Burwash development. I live next door to this. it is not suitable for the industrial planning it received on the misguided reallocation to industrial from farming, and without looking at what is needed. a single track access to site, and steep hill pinch point to single carriage way B road at Netherfield hill and carracks hill make this a dangerous site for industrial development with 60 tonne trucks
