Inappropriate housing developments

Source: Cllr Sue Prochak

I guess you're not alone. Here in the village of Robertsbridge 155 new homes have been imposed on us. Inevitably this means green field development and we are in an AONB! The only way forward it seems is to get a Neighbourhood Plan for your parish. This is a method of allowing residents to have their say and select the least worst result. However, it's time consuming and means that an eager developer could jump in before its completion.
