RR/2017/1705 DaSA Part II Policy BEX9 (Spindlewood)
The Pevensey Levels SAC/Ramsar has been identified as being potentially susceptible to alterations in hydrology by new development, and the mitigation measures for above development have been identified as necessary. The counter information supplied by developer claims risks have been satisfactorily addressed. Does RDC have neutral, professional expertise on board who can advise on technical scientific issues with regards to the Pevensey Levels? I suspect not or the planning application RR/2017/1705/P would never have been included in the DaSA framework and listed therein as BEX9 (Spindlewood). RDC must withdraw BEX9 from the DaSA on the grounds the land is totally unsuitable for building estates on and must be protected especially now with all the stark warnings about climate change and effect this will have on our coasts.
