My garden backs directly onto the farmland proposed for development BEX9. After heavy rain the drainage in my garden is very slow and the rainwater takes days to be absorbed. I frequently have to sprinkle sand on the lawn to assist drainage. I understand parts of the countryside surrounding Pevensey is marshland and flood plains.
With all the other proposed sites in question, RDC quota for new housing may be met and therefore the need to building on poor drainage land not necessary or appropriate.
