Planning strategies and policies

Building development in Westfield is subject to the planning strategies and policies aopted by Rother District Council, covered in the Local Plan.  Local Plans were developed over time and with full public consultation. The Rother draft plan received approval following a government inspection and was formally adopted in July 2006 for a five year period.

A Local Development Framework will replace the Local Plan and is currently being put together. This comprehensive document has incorporated the previous policies from the Local Plan, which can be viewed on the Rother website. As well as the general planning context and strategies there are specific policies relating to Westfield.
