Received: 26/09/2013
Respondent: Icklesham Parish Council
Legally compliant? Yes
Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Not specified
Summary Appraisal of Sustainable Housing Growth Potential July 2013 states at item 55 "Officers have had further discussions with Parish Council representatives to positively pursue the scope for additional land releases".
No such consultation took place with Icklesham Parish Council, who have been unsuccessfully trying to get Rother District Council to undertake an affordable housing survey.
We are concerned that opportunities may be being missed to undertake small affordable housing projects.
For this reason we dispute the amended housing figure of 1,670 dwellings, as we do not believe that this has been adequately researched and may therefore be understated.
Supporting document Summary Appraisal of Sustainable Housing Growth Potential July 2013 states at item 55 "Officers have had further discussions with Parish Council representatives to positively pursue the scope for additional land releases".
No such consultation took place with Icklesham Parish Council, who have been unsuccessfully trying to get Rother District Councils approval to undertake an affordable housing survey since 2012.
We are concerned that opportunities may be being missed to undertake small affordable housing projects in the Rother villages, because of the lack of support & consultation by Rother District Council.
For this reason we dispute the amended housing figure of 1,670 dwellings in MOD 12.4, as we do not believe that this has been adequately researched and may therefore be understated.
