Before any more housing can be considered anywhere in this country, the infrastructure must be sorted out first, especially our NHS and after care. Too many mistakes are being made because everything is at dangerous breaking point. I know this from first hand experiences. If the university is allowed to expand, which is a good thing, then appropriate housing for all university students must also be built on campus for two main reasons. First, it will free up valuable affordable housing for families and smarten up badly delapitated areas. Then our valuable green belts can be saved. Secondly, housing students on campus will keep students safer. A proper village could be built with doctors, dentists and maybe a couple of shops. This makes a whole lot of sense for many reasons. Our valuable green belts must be preserved. We have a huge wealth of flora and fauna that depend on these areas. Once they're gone, they're gone forever. There will be no turning the clock back, and plenty of regrets if it is allowed! Powered by Objective Online 4.2 - page 1 Resp 102 Comment.

My remarks relate purely to the village of Rottingdean for it is incumbent for all residents to safeguard and protect the village at all costs. 1.- The infrastructure of Rottingdean cannot tolerate more housing as envisaged for the St Aubyns Playing Field for any number of reasons, pollution being already a major concern for the health of the people living in the vicinity especially around the High Street area. 2.- Traffic on the Falmer Road, morning and late afternoon, is usually gridlocked; the thought of an additional hundred or so houses is farcical if only for that reason. 3.- Already there are insufficient school places in the immediate vicinity let alone having to support a substantial increase in the population. In short the area cannot support additional housing without suffering dire consequences in the long term. Our beautiful village of Rottingdean would be destroyed forever unless the villagers stand firm and stand together. There are, of course, any number of other valid reasons why the Powered by Objective Online 4.2 - page 1 envisaged project should not be permitted but the three highlighted above should be reason enough to convince the Powers that be that this is a non starter and could never succeed.

Housing Design Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report General comment Individual Name P Usher Individual Address Individual Email Individual Tel H2: The 2014 and 2015 Urban Fringe Assessment studies have already looked at a range of considerations (open space, landscape, heritage, ecology and environmental considerations) in establishing whether there is housing potential on some of the city’s urban fringe sites. Are there other (i.e. different) assessment considerations that City Plan Part 2 should also consider to guide the allocation of urban fringe sites? Greater emphasis should be put on maintaining the same density of housing to that of the surrounding development. There should also be design considerations to ensure any development is similar to those already there ie. no flat roofed terrace housing in an area of single storey pitch roofed detached properties. There should be greater protection of fringe sites adjacent to the SDNP especially along the major access routes. So that the entry and exit is not spoiled by inappropriate development. B: Housing mix – dwelling types, sizes and tenures H4: Should proposed housing site allocations in City Plan Part 2 seek to specify a range of dwelling types and sizes or should this be left to a more general criteria-based type of planning policy? The dwelling types should be in keeping with the existing properties. H5: On urban fringe site allocations, should the City Plan Part 2 seek to secure a specific proportion of family sized housing given the city’s lack of suitable sites for family sized housing? Powered by Objective Online 4.2 - page 1 The size and type of housing should be in keeping with the existing housing. H6: Can you think of other ways in which City Plan Part Two could help to ensure that a good mix of housing gets delivered in the city? Greater emphasis should be put on developing urban brownfield sites before desecrating the countryside adjacent to the SDNP. C: Making full and effective use of sites H7: Should City Plan Part Two introduce additional policy to ensure that new development maximises site potential (subject to appropriate criteria) and avoids the under-development of housing sites? If so, what might be appropriate planning considerations to include in such a policy? No. The development should be in-keeping with the existing properties, otherwise mini ghettos are likely to be built. D: Housing for key groups in the city H8: Should City Plan Part 2 include development management policies which seek to address the accommodation needs of particular groups within the city’s communities? For example, policies to specifically address and support housing options for older people; for families and for people with specialist housing needs? Yes. It would be inappropriate to develop sites for general housing where there are steep inclines that make it impossible to be accessed by the disabled. Thus discriminating against the old and infirm and those who depend on public transport for all their needs. H16: Should City Plan Part 2 seek to introduce the higher optional technical standards for ‘access and adaptability’ in new housing and an appropriate proportion of wheelchair user dwellings? Yes it should. However the development itself must be accessible in the first place by those who use a wheelchair and depend on public transport Are there any other housing issues? H21: Can you think of any other policy issues that relate to new housing development (and are not already covered in the sections above) that you think City Plan Part Two should seek to address? That the development itself should be accessible for disabled people that depend on public transport ie. where there is a gradient too steep for a wheelchair user to access a bus stop. It access to the development is denied because of this, then the development actively discriminates against the old, infirm, disabled and the development will solely exist for the young and fit. TR3: If you consider a more detailed policy is the best option, what might be your preferred approach, for example: B10: Do you consider the following green spaces should be designated Local Green Spaces? D3: Are there other streetscape and/or new, emerging design issues apart from those identified above that should be included in a Detailed Place Making Policy? That any new development should reflect the character of the existing housing ie. no flat roofed terraced housing in an area of pitched roofed detached properties. D: Are there any other design issues? Powered by Objective Online 4.2 - page 2 D9: Can you think of any other policy issues that relate to the design of new development (not already covered in the sections above) that you think City Plan Part Two should seek to address? A new development should reflect the design of existing properties ie. if all around are brick built then the new development should have brick elements in them.

Are there any other documents that should be Don't know / not sure referred to as part of the Context Review? Baseline Data, Indicators and Appendix B Q2a. Is there any other baseline data, which is readily Don't Know / not sure available, that would be useful for the baseline or for monitoring purposes? Sustainability Issues Q3a. Does the Sustainability Issues section Don't know / not sure adequately address the main issues? SA Framework (1) We would particularly value your feedback and input into the proposed Sustainability Appraisal Framework. The SA Objectives have been revised since the City Plan Part 1, and new “Decision Making Criteria” have been developed for both the policy appraisals and the site assessments to help guide assessments.
