Both Natural England and the Environment Agency have found serious faults in the proposal by the prospective developer to this site.
Rother District Council has been told that "a competent authority must take account of measures intended to avoid or reduce harmful effect of a plan or project as part of (an appropriate assessment." It is obvious that the developer and the Council have yet to prove that any development on this site, which is so close to a RAMSAR wetlands region would not adversely affect that Special Area of Conservation, beyond any reasonable scientific doubt.
It is also very clear that the information provided by the proposed developer to mitigate any potential adverse effecxt on the Pevensey Levels (RAMSAR/SSSI/SAC) via water borne pollution will not work and furthermore, will failvery quickly. The Envirnoment Agency are also requiring that the solution to this issue, if one exists, must be "maintained over the long term." So far, the requirements of both Natural England and the Environment Agency, and those of local residents, have yet to be satisfied .
