Draft Rother Local Plan 2025-2042 Consultation

The Local Plan is the blueprint for how Rother will grow and develop over the coming years. It ensures that homes, jobs, infrastructure and open spaces are carefully planned and delivered. It will also help ensure that the district’s attractive countryside is preserved and help address important issues such as affordable housing, climate change and nature recovery. This version of the Draft Local Plan identifies proposed sites throughout the district, which could accommodate new housing and employment development in the future. Through this consultation, Rother District Council are seeking views and comments on these proposed sites, to inform the final version of the draft Local Plan.

The consultation period runs for eight weeks from Monday 26th January to 5:00pm on Monday 23rd March 2026. Please visit: https://www.rother.gov.uk/draftlocalplan2026 to view the proposals and submit your comments before the deadline. You can also submit comments by email or post using the consultation form, which can be found on the RDC website. Hard copies of the Draft Local Plan can be viewed at a number of locations including the Council Offices, and Battle Library.

Crowhurst Parish Council hope you will take this opportunity to view and comment on the draft Rother Local Plan and help to shape the district’s future.
