Sound? No
Duty to co-operate? Not specified
The plan is unsound because Policy BEX9 does not enable the delivery of sustainable development.
The allocation of this site off Spindlewood Drive will add unacceptable traffic to Maple Walk and Meads Road and add to congestion further afield. I am not qualified to judge this impact in technical transportation terms, but the impact on residential amenity makes the proposal unsustainable.
The mitigation of the development requires a SUDS scheme which, in order to control long-term impacts on water quality in the adjacent Pevensey Levels will require a long term management plan and responsibilities. This is unusual in a multi-occupier residential development, and it is difficult to see how the protection of sensitive receptors in the levels can be guaranteed in the long term. This too makes the proposal unsustainable.
The plan can be made sound, in this regard, by deleting Policy BEX9.
