Rye strongly endorses the retention of its strategic gap. It is not only a separation between Rye and Rye Harbour , which aids the preservation of the character of Rye when viewed from the South, but is also salt marsh/water meadow with protected bio diversity.

Proposed Policy HWB4: Community Facilities and Services P192
Rye agrees the policy as it would support the sort of initiative taken by the Community to organise its own Covid Vax Centre in a community centre. NHS England facilities were planned at up to 40 minutes drivetime away. Some 65000 vaccinations have been delivered in Rye over a 2.5 year period.

Proposed Policy HWB5: Green and Blue Infrastructure P196
Q96 – 100: Rye strongly supports the policy. In the Rye NP review we are looking to categorise key green spaces in the Parish as “Local Green Spaces” for additional protection.

Rye - Public rights of way entering Rye need to be linked across the Town urban area to clarify public routes and access. At present, rights tend to cease on the edge of the Town boundary. Rye is hoping that the new King Charles Way will be the first way to be linked across Rye.

Rye - HOU1 (iii) One of the most pressing priorities in Rye is the need for affordable and social housing. With around one fifth of the stock in Rye now second homes or buy to let, developers must not be allowed to argue on viability grounds (using their own procured studies) that schemes cannot provide.

Rye understands that there is a second homes/AIRBnB study under way for Hastings and Rye. Rye would welcome input to that. As there is a range of measures under consideration in other areas of the Country, a priority should be registration so that this type of holiday accommodation can be safety regulated.

The Community tell us all the time that there are few options for young people in the hospitality industry, on which Rye depends, on minimum level wages to live. All options must be considered including perhaps blocks of single bedroom units for shared ownership, lease or purchase. This requirement is a higher priority to units for older people.
