It is acknowledged that Runcton HDA is almost at capacity including current extant permissions. But paragraph 4.79 also states that land adjacent to the HDA can also be considered suitable for development. Bearing in mind the comment about lack of capacity within the Runcton HDA (4.78.2), what is the justification for the reductions in area in the north of the HDA (4.78.4) shown on the policies map?

Our view is that we could be doing more in this area. More thought is probably needed to help develop the area at a business level.

We believe there is scope for innovative horticulture especially in the Sidlesham and Almodington area.

Para 4.78 Addressing Horticultural Needs: This article contradicts itself, talking about 'land being required at the Runcton HDA which is almost at full capacity'. No proper reason is given, other than a reference to Policy DM15, which is a catch-all get-out to permit development on HDA land

Horticulture need not only include glass houses. Orchards should be encouraged throughout the plan area to increase our food security.
