Aims to which Eastling could plan are as follows:

• Identify possible locations for affordable housing, including conversions of existing buildings;
   
• Continue those existing planning policies which ensure that any necessary development enhances the character of the village;
   
• Encourage the role of Eastling School in the community;
   
• Identify possible locations for public open space/playground;
   
• Enhance the relative attractiveness of the public transport system to encourage its wider use;
   
• Discourage inessential journeys by car; where they are necessary encourage sharing by publicising planned trips to others;
   
• Install a traffic management scheme to provide better safety in The Street and Kettle Hill Road (consider possible reduction in speed limits, traffic lights, chicanes, sleeping policemen etc.);
   
• Develop a strategy for planting hedges and trees of native species to camouflage visual eyesores, enhance the landscape and improve habitats for wildlife;
   
• Develop with local farmers, an open discussion about the appropriate use of agricultural herbicides and pesticides, and the merits of genetically modified crops.
