BEX11 - Options 1 & 2

European designated sites - Pevensey Levels Ramsar site: supporting habitat.

Our records show that, this site may form functional habitat for the bird species of the Ramsar and therefore detailed surveys/survey data will be required. If the site is confirmed as supporting habitat, it is given the same level of protection as the Ramsar.

Designated sites - Pevensey Levels SSSI; within 'Impact Risk Zone' (IRZ) for the SSSI.

If the allocation is likely to have a significant effect on the SSSI (e.g. from run-off and pollutants entering the ditch network harming the botanical, invertebrate and bird interest of the SSSI), appropriate mitigation measures need to be specified.

Designated sites - Pevensey Levels SSSI hydrological catchment area.

Development proposals within the Pevensey catchment should include SuDS that deliver multiple benefits for the water environment, wildlife and people, and to achieve the greatest benefits, SuDS should be joined up at a landscape scale.

Note: Natural England would welcome the opportunity to work with the lpa and other partners to achieve this, and implement the related policies in the Rother District Local Plan.
