Rother Draft Local Plan 2020-2040

This page has been set up to support residents wanting to comment on the new draft Local Plan 2020-2040. This site will be updated when new information is added. This Local Plan will decide where the sites for development in Westfield will be. This is because Westfield Parish Council has currently not opted to have a Neighbourhood Plan.
