This is key to our contribution towards carbon sequestration and protecting our
wetlands.

Achieve 10% first then consider going further. This area is in the unique
position to deliver higher carbon sequestration given the nature of our
landscape, (high density of woodlands and wetlands), we should set higher
deliverables for our developments. We should also support and encourage
‘cleaner businesses’ to the area

Broadly agree, if the term ‘village’ includes hamlet. Why are all the Live Well
Locally sites around Bexhill? What about the rest of Rother.

The comment ‘Active Travel England’s has an overall objective for half of all
journeys in towns and cities to be cycles or walked by 2030’ isn’t really
achievable unless the intention is to create cycle lanes along the very busy A
roads in the district. Not many will choose to cycle along the A28 for example,
given the state of the road, the volume and speed of traffic.

This is an important requirement and feeds into the carbon neutral and net zero
agendas, but significant amounts of money will be needed for the rural areas to
allow walking or riding to local amenities.
This assumes that the infrastructure exists, eg a doctors surgery without a
waiting list, a school not at capacity, appropriate local shops.
More care needs to be taken to provide these facilities in new developments

Generally support, although even 400m can be too far for some people
