Section (c) states that the Policy should facilitate the limited growth of villages which contain a range of services and which contribute to supporting vibrant, mixed rural communities. Section (d) states that small scale infill and development will be permitted to enable local needs to be met, in other villages. Whilst this policy is generally supported it is suggested that the wording could be amended to ensure that the focus is on existing villages. c) could be amended to remove reference to limited growth and focus on growth, as supported by the Draft NPPF.

Policy OSS3 states that existing development boundaries will be reviewed as part of the Development and Site Allocations Development Plan Document (DPD). It is considered that as existing Local Plan allocations have formed part of the calculations both the housing and employment figures these allocations should be protected from changes to the settlement boundary which could affect their deliverability. The policy text should therefore include an additional sentence referencing this - see section 7.

A key objective of national planning policy is to promote thriving inclusive and sustainable rural communities. Whilst the main objectives of this section are strongly supported, it is considered that an additional objective could be added stating that sustainable residential growth will be supported in larger villages in accordance with PPS 3 and PPS 7.

Policy RA1: Villages
Representation ID: 20914
Received: 08/11/2011
Respondent: Glyndebourne 1991 L & P Trust
Agent: Strutt & Parker
Paragraph 12:18 states that it is assumed existing local plan allocations (if deliverable) will form part of the housing trajectory for future development and will be developed in the early stages of the plan. This is reinforced by policy RA1: Villages. This approach is strongly supported as Local Plan allocations have been subject to detailed consideration and consultation through the Local Plan process.
Section (ii) of the Policy advocates the encouragement of high quality sustainable economic growth by the identification of sites for local job opportunities, particularly focussing on villages identified in figure 10. This policy is strongly supported.
It is noted that Rother Valley has revised their housing projections to take into account the recession and the move to revoke Regional Spatial Strategies.

Section (ii) of the policy states that in rural areas developments should provide a mix of housing sizes and types with at least 30% one and two bedroomed dwellings (being mostly 2 bed).
Whilst it is recognised that a Housing Needs Survey has been undertaken to inform the preparation of the Core Strategy it is considered that the above text is unduly prescriptive and does not allow for changes in housing market and associated changes in housing need as required by PPS 3.
