Aren’t these delivered from Government level as standard measures?

Should this not be explicitly outlined in HOU2? Large need for specialist housing for the elderly in rural Rother.

Could outline the needs and policy within the key housing policies for rural areas.

No consultation with GP surgeries? Consideration of access, what is the definition of access to services and transport? Term ‘robustly justified’ needs to be in the policy. Wording on explanatory text is too open to interpretation and is subjective to planning officer, developer and member interpretation. Should be defined in policy wording as in economic sites to avoid any doubt. Demographic of area suggests that need will be increasing over the years. Quoting of the HENDA seems at odds with what is known. Conflicting guidance on need. Don’t understand where the information comes from suggesting that there is no growing demand? If that is the case evidence needs to be supplied within explanatory text. No reference of point or paragraph given for the HENDA. Builds being currently passed for care homes state need in the area, at odds with this policy and statements within.

Must ensure that the policy wording is clear and explanatory text is not open to interpretation. Safe access as defined by Highways? Very important for clarity to be given on balance of need versus National landscape damage. Nothing in the policy regarding potential alternative provision. Provision needs to be made to protect further the National Landscape. Small scale being 10 pitches is very large, if site has potential to scale up then too much with no enforcement to back up policy. If not regulated can become a huge problem. Increase of application recently, more efforts need to be put in to find suitable alternative sites. Open sites should be viewed with caution with clear limitations within the site to stop ongoing expansion.
