Closed - Call for Sites - Closed
Today, Thursday 3rd November 2016, The Ticehurst Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group on
behalf of and with the authority of Ticehurst Parish Council has published its ‘Call for Sites’.
See details here.
As part of normal planning regulation, Rother District Council maintains a ‘Strategic Housing and
Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA) register. The SHLAA records land which is available for
development AND screens each plot for its likely suitability under AONB and Planning Authority
rules. For the 2013 SHLAA Rother examined 34 sites in this Parish; only 7 were considered to
have development potential. Outline planning permission has now been awarded on 3 of these
sites, and refused on another which is now felt to be unsuitable for development. With the
emerging Neighbourhood Plan and Development on OUR terms! we are able to influence the
SHLAA process.
Important Note
The SHLAA is not a legal process, it is a helpful tool. Development proposals for sites which are
supported still have to go through the formal planning approvals process; site which are not
supported are unlikely to satisfy planning guidelines which can reassure residents and avoid
wasteful applications.
Interested landowners and others are encouraged to complete their nominations as soon as
possible, and not to wait towards the end of the ‘Call’ period. Regulation requires a six-week
period; we are allowing more than seven weeks but will be able to review nominations as they
arrive. Nominators will be notified of the outcome of their submission by the end of January 2017.
