1. Re 15.79 'Flood risk and biodiversity impacts are negligible. This completely ignores the indisputable fact that areas of Peasmarsh do have a serious problem with water drainage and sewerage. To the east of this development is Griffin Lane where the properties have had many problems with water and drainage. I am not convinced that enough measure would be put in place to deal with the increased surface water, sewerage and drainage. May I remind the appropriate authorities that a water problem was raised before 4 new houses were built in the east of the Village ( on part of the land called the Park and ANOB) and water is currently flooding across the main A268 road making it especially
lethal when it freezes. Despite the Parish Council representations nothing has been done by Rother to rectify this serious matter. So I have little expectation that should the same problem arise that Rather will do anything.

2. Communication i.e. telephone and internet is particularly poor in Peasmarsh and so many people have had problems that this has again been taken up by our Parish Council and M.P. Openreach appears to have a permanent presence in our Village.

3. Access to the main road appears to be inadequate for such a huge development and coming as it does near a top of a steep hill I can predict the likelihood of many accidents as this juncture is also so near the Village Hall. The very fact that the entry and exit point is the same proves my point.

4. I note the comment ' Given the shortfall against open space standards, provision of an area of open space and children' play area is required' The play area, recreation field and pavilion, bowling green and skateboard area adjoining the Maltings can hardly be called a small open space.
