Proposed Submission Development and Site Allocations (DaSA) Local Plan

Representation ID: 24066

Received: 02/12/2018

Respondent: Ms Elizabeth Hews

Legally compliant? No

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

The plan has failed to address the following:
The issue of the increase in traffic volumes, including noise and air pollution around the site affecting Barnhorn Road and the narrowness of the entrance/exit onto the A259 at Barnhorn Manor.

The potential dangers of the access site entrance being so close to the "S" bend heading west and the problems that local residents adjacent to and opposite will experience in accessing and exiting their drives.

Meads Road, Spindlewood Drive, Maple Walk and Maple Avenue are totally unsuitable for very heavy traffic volumes (some of which are unadopted) that would occur as a direct result of the Spindlewood site development.

Ecology and the Pevensey Levels

Mitigation of potential adverse effects on the Pevensey Levels (RAMSAR/SSSI/SAC) via water borne pollution will not work and will fail very quickly.

Such a situation would be a breach of the Habitats Regulations and a contravention of the People over Wind Court of Justice European Union (CJEU) judgement established quite recently in Ireland.

There should never be any development on a site so close to a RAMSAR wetlands region that could adversely affect that Special Area of Conservation.
