Rye and Rye Harbor
The recreational and environmental pressures associated with the proposed housing in the Core Strategy could, alone or in-combination with other proposed housing development in surrounding areas, lead to an adverse effect on the surrounding Natura 2000 sites. 8.30 - An additional consideration is that the proposed development site is within 3km of Dungeness to Pett Level SPA and even closer to Walland Marsh SSSI.
We are also deeply concerned with the proximity of Dungeness to Pett Level SPA site to the proposed development activities in the Rye Harbour area. The preferred option for employment directly conflicts with the strategy to safeguard the integrity of Dungeness to Pett Level SPA.
