Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

I strongly object to development on land off Spindlewood Drive (BX119).
It is not a question of making changes; the proposal is flawed in many respects and no planning permission should be given to any development. Many objections have already been submitted by local residents and none have been satisfactorily answered. Rother District Council should not be continuing to support and promote the Spindlewood site in DaSA Part 2.

ECOLOGY & THE PEVENSEY LEVELS

The proposed site is long established farmland dating back to the Doomsday Book and still actively farmed.
This should not be altered.
There should never be any development on a site that is so close to the RAMSAR/SSSI/SAC wetlands region that is the Pevensey Levels; a hugely important and Nationally renowned Special Area of Conservation which will be put at risk.
I am fully aware of submissions and objections made in considerable detail by persons who are much more qualified than I am but I fully support them.
Totally inadequate and misleading responses have been made by the applicants and their agents in matters intended but failing to mitigate adverse effects of water borne pollution.

This application should be absolutely and permanently refused.
