Object on the following grounds.
1) Access to the site via Meads Road, Cooden Sea Road and the A259 is untenable. It is not wide enough for two cars let alone lorries. Access needs to be from Barnhorn Road and use existing pathways.
2) Environmentally the site will either increase the chance of flooding ,even with the Pond, or in remove so much water that the area will dry up and the remaining trees die. The council has TPO s on many trees in the area but with the recent felling of many of these the ancient forest of the area is being lost. I also question the impact on the Pevensey Levels. The loss of habitat for flora and fauna will be immense.
3) Services There will be increase pressure on all services, water, sewage, gas and electric. There is not enough space in the local Primary School or at the doctors. The Secondary Students will have to travel away creating even more traffic on the A259 and Little Common Roundabout.
4) Traffic. There is already a major problem at Little Common Roundabout that has not been addressed. The extra 1000 plus movements a day from this development will cause further delays and congestion on Cooden Sea Road and the A259.
Overall the development takes and gives nothing to the area. I question the need for this development as there is already a large development just to the North of Little Common, this has not yet been developed at its impacts need to be determined before any other is allowed.
