Development and Site Allocations (DaSA) Local Plan - Options and Preferred Options

Representation ID: 22262

Received: 14/02/2017

Respondent: Fairlight Parish Council

Representation Summary:

Fairlight Parish Concil comments:

We agree the policy generally.

In the Fairlight/Pett area we believe that following the precautionary principle soakaways should not be allowed within 100 metres of the cliff rather than the 50m proposed.

Reviews of the limit of development should take place every 3 years or following any significant cliff fall.

We would also like to see an Article 4 direction for the coastal zone in order that work which is currently permitted development is subject to the test of additional loading to the cliff.

We will seek to address this in the Fairlight Neighbourhood Plan.
