Flooding.
This area is prone to flood as the existing mains drainage system is either, inadequate, poorly maintained i.e. insufficient jetting, no clearing of existing drainage ditches. Additionally the area is the lowest point so road flooding adds to the likelihood of road accidents.
Existing properties close to this site are already overwhelmed, on occasions, by the run-off water from the high ground in & around the cemetery. Yet more concreted areas will not help this already poorly drained area to improve.
I feel more evidence is required on the sites potential adverse impact on Pevensey Levels Hydrological catchment
