Rother Local Plan 2020-2040 (Regulation 18)
78. What are your views on the Council's proposed policy on general development considerations?
Representation ID: 26141
Received: 23/07/2024
Respondent: Rye Conservation Society
Housing
P213 to 292
Q109 – 113
Rye - Please see earlier remarks about “sustainable development”. P18. Proposed Policy HOU1: Mixed and Balanced Communities P214 Rye - HOU1 (iii) One of the most pressing priorities in Rye is the need for affordable and social housing. With around one fifth of the stock in Rye now second homes or buy to let, developers must not be allowed to argue on viability grounds (using their own procured studies) that schemes cannot provide. The Community tell us all the time that there are few options for young people in the hospitality industry, on which Rye depends, on minimum level wages to live. All options must be considered including perhaps blocks of single bedroom units for shared ownership, lease or purchase. This requirement is a higher priority to units for older people.

The Rye Conservation Society is fully supportive of stategic gaps, which together with the Rye Neighbourhood Plan have deterred develoment of green site areas around the town.

131. What are your views on the Council's proposed policy on specialist housing for older people?

We are concerned that the mix of housing is that more units are delivered for older people and we would like to see a higher proportion of units for younger people to avoid Rye becoming even more of a retirement town.

The Conservation Areas are extremely important and their character must be preserved with unsuitable developments being refused.
