The key issues should emphasise to include a commitment to ensure that everyone has the opportunity of living in a decent home, which they can afford, in a community where they want to live in accordance with PPS3.

The high level of need for affordable housing dictates a bold approach to the rate of growth in Rother. Neither of the approaches set out at paragraphs 3.21 or 3.22 will provide a satisfactory foundation on which to secure the necessary step change in the provision of affordable housing. A bold approach to housing with the allocation of large strategic sites, including Greenfield is required where development of a meaningful quantity of affordable housing can be assured.

The role of development and the planning process in providing affordable housing is becoming more significant. Development economics with the need to fund increasing levels of infrastructure, physical and social make it important that any requirement for the provision of affordable housing, as a percentage of the overall residential development of any site, is itself affordable (viable) in development terms.

The general principles should recognise the role of Greenfield sites in securing a sufficient supply of residential development land to deliver the scale of affordable housing required in the Borough.

A higher level of growth is required to facilitate the provision of a quantum of affordable housing necessary to meet the identified need.

The diminishing supply scenario is the most appropriate. The need to safeguard employment and respect the character of neighbouring development should mean that the contribution that Brownfield land can make to housing supply is reduced. The potential merit of appropriate development of Greenfield land, with potential advantages for infrastructure precision, including affordable housing supply, should be acknowledged.

Option 1 is the most appropriate. It offers the opportunity to provide enhanced community facilities and services for the area, affordable housing and improved employment prospects and with the contribution of the development of the Local Plan allocation at Udimore Road reduce the pressure for unsympathetic infill development within the confines of the town that might otherwise arise through the pursuit of Option 2.
