Some are far outside of the Battle hub. Quite ambitious.

Again sites have been identified outside of the main hub so are they sustainable / achievable?

Hard to see how the opportunities will be achieved or realised.

Overall aspirational as a vision. Employment opportunities in rural parish is overstated. Provision for 21st century working reality. The vision should include
protection of the unique river valleys along the Rother and Dudwell and the 'droveways' from the valleys and the green spaces between settlements.

Employment opportunities overstated for Burwash Common. Higher Nature site now been sold to ENN and Rother can speak to them about. Some of the sites identified in the HEELA are unsuitable for development.

Some of the sites are not acceptable for development that have been identified in the HELAA.
BUR0019 – Site is a registered ancient hill fort and is registered with the ESCC archaeological society.
BUR0035 – Development of 6. Believe the previous owners submitted the site. Feeling is that if it was submitted as a subdivision of property it could work as a site.
BUR003 – Is not suitable no access, hugely contentious development. This site has already been rejected by planning and should not be considered.
BUR0010 – Potentially suitable if the site comes forward. Concern about the number suggested on the size of the plot.
BUR0031 – Potentially suitable if the site comes forward. Concern about ribbon development, possible backfill and suburbanization.
BUR0032 – Potentially suitable if the site comes forward. Concern about ribbon development, possible backfill and suburbanisation.

BUR0027 – Would be highly contentious, possible problems with access onto the A265. Could be developed if it comes forward with careful management. Concern about it being an extension of the ribbon towards Broad Oak.

BUR0034 – Commercial employment opportunities are overstated. There is no dwelling on the site. Current owner tried for permission to turn a brick barn with a chimney into residential use but it was refused. Area highlighted on the map is not accurate as it includes a neighbouring garage and access driveway that isn’t part of the curtilage. Burnt House Farm is a protected conservation area. Essential that any changes are not visible across the valley. More tarmac would make current flooding worse. The driveway and access road referred to is private and there is a neighbour covenant on the land. Current owner has said they will not allow access for vehicles to the site along the lane. Very dangerous access to A265. Original access to Burnt House Farm has to be moved because of safety concerns. There is buried waste on the site, live enforcement case. Land is now contaminated.
