If a referendum were held and resulted in a majority vote in favour, the plan would become part of the district council’s statutory development plan and would be a key document with which planning applications in the town are determined.
Cllr Gillian Johnson, Rother District Council cabinet member for strategic planning, said: “The Neighbourhood Plan is an important document which will shape how Rye develops in the future.
“I’d encourage people in the town to take a look and advise them to submit any representations before the deadline.”
