Rother Local Plan 2020-2040 (Regulation 18)
81. Are there any alternatives or additional points the Council should be considering?

Removal of affordable housing should be directly linked as a condition and not be able to be reversed if viability then shown not to be achieved. Should be linked to outline permission so permissions lost if not build out.

82. What are your views on the Council's approach to development boundaries?
Representation ID: 26306

Respondent: Burwash Parish Council
Wording of the policy is concerning. Rewording of the policy removes many of the protections that were in place for encroaching developments outside of the agreed boundaries. Reading the new policy it seems that there are loopholes available for development in the countryside if the development hits any of the markers outlined in other policies including affordable housing, etc. The wording of the policy and the loopholes within it leave the protection of the AONB questionable. Natural Landscape isn’t protected at all when reading this policy.

Be explicit in wording regarding the protection of the Natural Landscape. Too open for interpretation and subjectivity. Interpretation of major/minor housing. Small numbers to count in NP.

90. What are your views on the Council's approach to strategic gaps and those that are identified?
Representation ID: 26314
Received: 17/07/2024
Respondent: Burwash Parish Council
Lack of clarity on development boundaries and their retention makes strategic gaps much more important. No gaps identified in the rural rother areas, Burwash to Etchingham, Burwash to Brightling, for example. No protection or identification to prevent urban spread from villages / hamlets. Removal of Location of Development policy makes it less clear and open to more interpretation.
