Additional activities or developments in the Rother Estuary or Rock Channel will have to avoid any direct or indirect damage to the Site of Special Scientific Interest. Outside of the designated site, activities adjacent to in or on wetland habitats such as the Rother Estuary should avoid any loss of Biodiversity Action Plan Habitat such as inter-tidal mud or saltmarsh.

It should be taken into account that development in the Rock Channel or adjacent to the Old Rastrums site will only be acceptable if Government Guidance is followed that achieves a net gain for wildlife as a result of any significant development.
