It needs to be strongly linked to education, encouraging unemployed to follow college courses is a future investment

Point xi is an unreasonable and unsafe policy. The creation of a new agricultural track is made to service farm vehicles which by there nature can be dangerous for pedestrians. Rother has a large and comprehensive network of PROW’s and this policy seeks to unreasonably force access over private land . In addition, a legal conflict may occur to condition a permissive path.
Point ix. It is highly unlikely that a new track could ever conserve and enhance the landscape. Therefore, this policy point simply seeks to stop any new agricultural tracks which is unreasonable.

The policy related to holiday lets only being allowed if they use redundant buildings is unreasonable as a farm may not have a suitable building to convert but needs to diversify to maintain the viability of the farm. This policy is too restrictive.

This policy when added to Cil and affordable housing plus other contributions will suppress the delivery of housing as the combination of CiL and affordable housing has already seen to result in viability issues which result in the lack of delivery of affordable housing.

This policy effectively stops or severely retards the development of equestrian facilities which make a significant contribution to the rural economy through farm diversification. Horses and their related facilities are very much part of rural life. The policy is over restrictive and clearly has the intention of suppressing an industry which makes a significant contribution to the Rother rural economy. The dispersed location of a facility whether it be stables or a sand school is normal in rural areas. This appears to be a policy written with a poor understanding of the role of horses and their related facilities in the countryside. It is over restrictive. The commentary on excessive fencing is too judgemental to include in a policy with no evidence base to support a policy which appears to have a negative approach to equestrian facilities.

This policy appears to repeat national policy unnecessarily.

Proposals that support the replacement of non-native trees and hedges with native trees and hedges should be supported.
