Point iii Passiv houses cannot use bird or bat bricks as they must be airtight so this policy conflicts with the zero carbon policy. To achieve true zero carbon a building must be passiv. Therefore, this point of this policy needs revising.

Air source heat pumps can be noisy and need to be located above ground. This could cause a conflict between carbon zero and noise policies.

Environmental issues due to sewerage. There has been an issue for a number of years with sewerage being pumped onto the allotments and draining down into the river. This is due to the pipes being old and unable to cope with pumping sewerage in Sedlescombe. The pressure on the system will be significantly increased with development sites that already have planning permission and should be carefully considered before any further permissions are given.

The proposes Local Plan is introducing a wide range of controls which will add significantly to the cost of any planning application small (1 house) or large. This will have the impact of stifling new development across the district.
