COMMENTS ON INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVERY PLAN RELEVANT TO BURWASH PARISH

• It appears that the only identified infrastructure outlined for Burwash is delivery of a cricket pitch.

• Identified need in the rural Rother area for increased clinical spaces relevant to the delivery of additional services to a wider community.
- Burwash medical practice (Fairfield Surgery) has approx. 4,300 patients on role. The population of Burwash is approx. 2,300 people. The surgery services many more patients than just residents of Burwash parish. Surgery is oversubscribed and lacking space to grow.
- The Parish Council are exploring the opportunity to build a new Community Hub to include new public toilets, community spaces, clinical spaces and additional parking.

COMMENTS ON INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVERY PLAN RELEVANT TO BURWASH PARISH

• The water treatment plant in Shrub Lane has been poorly maintained and is at threat of failure with any increased development in Strand Meadow / Shrub Lane. This needs to be addressed.
• Burwash Primary School has just received an ‘Outstanding’ rating from Ofsted. This will no doubt mean that the reception class (PAN 25) will be full in the coming years as it’s the only primary in the area to have this rating.
• Leased land at Hornbeam could be developed to include children’s playground.
• Parish Council doesn’t own or lease any other land in Burwash parish. Both Swan Meadow (Ham Lane) and the Pavilion & Playing Fields at Burwash Common are owned / managed by independent charities.
