RHA1 - Land at Stonework Cottages, Rye Harbour
The policy mention that there should be no harm to Rye Harbour SSSI. However, the site is in fact adjacent to Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay SSSI, Special Protection Area (SPA) and Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention (Ramsar Site). While there are no scrub or grassland habitats on site there is still a possibility that the site may contain species that are notified features of these designated sites. Appropriate surveys need to be carried out.
