I have only just been informed of this proposal as a resident of Fairlight. It is extremely difficult to work out how I reply to you and follow all the instructions laid out in the various documents to reply or object, by 20 February 2017.

Having conducted recently (2014) a wildlife survey of Knowle Wood and the surrounding fields (Survey attached) I realise the immense importance of this area which runs along the edge of the proposed Extension to Gap.(See your Map 3 Fairlight which is marked as a Site of Nature Conservation Interest SNCI on your map). If there is any development in the future to this proposed Extension it will result in the deterioration of the amenity and the unique wildlife value of this area. So I am against this proposal for Fairlight Village.
