Core Strategy Consultation on Strategy Directions 2008
Box 15 - Preferred Strategy for Rye and Rye Harbour
Representation ID: 19172
Received: 27/01/2009
Respondent: Tilling Valley Neighbourhood Group
- Cultural enhancement of town.
- Avoidance of congestion that would be inevitable if extra retail space were permitted in an inappropriate site.
- Improvement of rail transport.
- Development of amenity areas.
a+b. Tourism, culture, recreation and amenity: We support the establishment of a theatre and arts centre - to be known as the Fletcher Festival Theatre - as an enhancement of our historic town. There is no other venue larger than Rye College available as a drama and performance space. Such a venue would provide a magnet for tourists and contribute to the life of the town.
e.11 - It is our strong opinion that the Lower School site is inappropriate for retail marketing as the entrance would be within yards of the Ferry Road level crossing and the additional volume of traffic could not be contained within such restricted access.
d. We urge the improvement of the Marsh Link as we are at present deprived of late transport out of and into Rye necessitating the use of car or taxi.
b+f. We are concerned that our open spaces are protected. We further suggest that the Lower School site could be partially developed as a play area and green site in conjunction with the social housing which is presently expected to be built. For instance there are no public tennis courts in Rye.
