Question 1
What do you think?
1. Are there any issues or challenges that we have missed?
Response
1. MG Yes, I see no back up plan if Natural England disagree with your assumption or indeed no mention of Natural England in the text of Direction of Travel. Should they not be part of the equation as they were a big influencer in causing the failure of the last plan.
2. SB
2. Do you agree with the proposed policy options?
Response
1. MG Yes, Hard not to if WDC carry them through and do not water them down due to outside pressure.
2. SB
3. Do you disagree with any of the options?
Response
1. MG No
2. SB
4. Are there any other policy options we should be considering?
Response
1. MG Yes, Policy 7, take onboard local knowledge and ensure that analysis is not restricted to behind a desk and that any flood analysis should have been carried out prior to informal discussions with officer on all major schemes and in all seasons to smooth out error.
Policy 9, Current ESCC parking standard are well short of current average household need with house prices at current levels even a couple living in a one bedroom flat will both be working and due to the low bus levels and any well-paid jobs being mostly out of the area most couples will have 2 cars. With the current Covid situation more self-employment will happen, and company vans (etc) will be home based which has been on the increase in recent years.
2. SB
5. Do you have any other comments in relation to how we can plan to combat climate change?
Response
1. MG Yes, Will WDC Planning be tasked with looking at all unbuilt application and retrospectively and ensure they all fit with the policies in section 4 so that the target of 2050 is met?

What do you think?

14.1 The new Local Plan will set out a long term vision for the district and sets out objectives and a spatial strategy, to provide a framework for delivering development in the district for the next 20 years or so. A key consideration for the Local Plan will be the spatial distribution of new development within the district, particularly housing and economic development to meet needs and there are four broad options presented below to meet those requirements. Although there are four possible options presented within this consultation document, it could be that a combination of several of these options presented will form the final preferred strategy to meet identified growth within the new Local Plan.
14.2 Through the existing Wealden District Core Strategy Local Plan, as well as extant planning permissions, an existing supply of both business development and housing sites have been confirmed, which will contribute to achieving some of Wealden’s development needs in the future. However, as recognised elsewhere in this document, we will require further significant growth to accommodate all our requirements.
14.3 At this stage, these growth options are not about specific sites or locations of where new growth should take place, but at the highest level the options for how the district may develop – should we seek to deliver all the growth in one or more strategic locations, should we spread the growth to all corners of the District, or somewhere in between.
14.4 It should be noted that the following options are presented in no particular order.
14.5 This option would be to focus on growth for existing sustainable settlements, similar to the approach taken in the Core Strategy Local Plan (2013).
14.6 For this option, our most sustainable settlements (possibly including those very close to the border) would deliver the vast majority of the growth in the district. A smaller proportion of growth would then go to other sustainable rural settlements within the district, including larger villages with sustainability credentials. There would only be very limited growth in smaller villages and rural areas.
14.7 This option would distribute growth across the district to sustainable settlements, with the majority of development still being located within the most sustainable settlements as listed in option one (subject to further settlement hierarchy work), but with a larger proportion of growth being earmarked for other sustainable settlements within the district, such as larger villages within the district that have sustainability credentials (this will be updated as part of the Council’s settlement hierarchy work). There would continue to be only limited growth within smaller villages and rural areas.
14.8 This option would be to provide for development in all settlements across the district in line with an updated settlement hierarchy that assesses the sustainability credentials of all settlements in the district. The amount of new development would be proportionate to the size of each settlement (and its position within the settlement hierarchy) as well as its existing services/facilities and the ability to enhance those facilities. This would be the only option where some growth within smaller villages and rural areas would be supported subject site specific constraints and the settlement’s position within the settlement hierarchy.
14.9 This option would in effect include a ‘new’ freestanding settlement(s), potentially in the form of one or more ‘Garden Village’. Depending on the final location, this option could also include the very significant expansion of an existing settlement(s).
14.10 This option would be based on a potential settlement or settlements of around 2,000 to 5,000 homes plus other business, employment, community and leisure uses. The proposed settlement would include an agreed set of design principles and would be led through a unique master plan that would form part of the Local Plan.
