In view of the known landslip / coastal erosion problems encountered at Fairlight and Rother's extensive coastline these issues should be given equal prominence in the Core Strategy with flooding. There should be specific policies and cross reference to central government policy. All this should feed into specific policies for Fairlight.
In Fairlight (Rockmead Road and previously Sea Road) many homes have been lost to landslip / coastal erosion and in 2007 remedial work costing over £3 million was carried out. The works depend on over 50 pumps which are due to be turned off in 2057 due to representations by Natural England (the cliff is SSSI). The area requires continual monitoring and maintenance. New development in the vicinity of the cliff may be unsustainable and liable to add to groundwater problems, exacerbating cliff stability problems. There should be cross reference to central government policy on development in these circumstsnces, as has been done elsewhere with reference to flooding.
Rother has an extensive coastline. Specific policies would be expected for the District on a par with those for flooding. This should feed through into specific policies for Fairlight.

It is impossible to assess housing affordability without considering the availability and affordability of housing in Hastings. This is accepted at para 7.2 where Hastings is described as part of the same strategic housing and labour market area. However, this seems to be overlooked in para 3.14 and para 4.2(2). It may be that Hastings offers a large supply of cheaper housing which should be taken into account when formulating policy on housing needs.

Para 3.21 states "The district is forecast to see ... an increase in those aged 45-64 (21.7%)"
This appears to be inconsistent with the bar chart fig 7 at para 3.20 which shows a reduction in those aged 45-64 between 2011 and 2028.
Perhaps the para should read "...(and an increase in those aged 65 to 79 (21.7%)."

To note the publication of the Fairlight Action Plan. (Covering the whole of Fairlight Parish.)This shows very little internal need for new housing for the residents of Fairlight - six individuals were looking for accommodation and of those five were looking for sheltered accommodation. Also the Draft Rural Settlements Study Part 2 pages 45 & 48 shows a "relatively low level of demand from the housing register". This does not support any identification of Fairlight as needing development, nor does it support the unqualified statement that "Affordable housing is a particularly pressing community need in rural areas."
