Respondent: Burwash Parish Council
Emphasis on young people buying first homes not mentioned here. Does shared ownership form part of the policy of affordable housing in the plan?

118. Do you consider that prioritising affordable housing or the Community Infrastructure Levy is more important for Rother?

Young people are key to the survival of smaller rural areas. If the policies are written to reflect the balance between infrastructure and affordable housing being available, this links directly to enforcement on planning permissions given to developers based on affordable housing allocation that is then taken away once viability studies are completed. Permissions linked to affordable housing need to be enforced.

119. What are your views on the Council's proposed policy on 100% affordable housing developments?
Representation ID: 26338
Received: 17/07/2024
Respondent: Burwash Parish Council
How does this effect parishes with Neighbourhood Plans. No mention of Parish Councils. No distinction between urban and rural areas but they are very different in terms of infrastructure requirements. Local need not defined as the need of the individual parish. No mention of 100% affordable in Bexhill?

121. What are your views on the Council's proposed policy on allocating sites for wholly or substantially affordable housing?
Representation ID: 26340

Respondent: Burwash Parish Council
Not clear why this policy is needed. Isn’t this covered in exception sites? Significant change to previous policy with the removal of the need to be adjacent to the boundary. This could open the countryside to wider developments. The only limitations being proximity to amenities under the rules given, does this mean developments can be built in the countryside as long as they are within 400 m of a bus stop? How does this protect the Natural Landscape, how does this protect rural areas as a whole?

123. What are your views on the Council's proposed policy on rural exception sites?
Representation ID: 26342
Received: 17/07/2024
Respondent: Burwash Parish Council
This policy is completely undermined by HOU4. If HOU4 is allowed, exception sites will not be considered by developers as HOU4 is an easier way to get development in the rural areas, outside the development boundary without considering the local need. No consideration of how the policy plays out in reality in rural areas.
