"We support Natural England's view in that the proposal still lacks evidence to allow an Appropriate Assessment to determine, beyond reasonable scientific doubt, that an adverse effect on the Pevensey Levels SAC and Ramsar site can be avoided. We do not believe that the additional 'Information to inform an Appropriate Assessment under the Habitats Regulations', Oct 2018 report provides sufficient information to allow a conclusion of 'no likely significant effect' on the Pevensey Levels SAC and Ramsar site. Therefore we maintain our objection and recommend an Appropriate Assessment. On the authority of the 'People Over Wind' ruling, the mitigation measures should be considered at the appropriate assessment stage. Only then can a conclusion be drawn as to whether the plan or project will have an adverse effect on the integrity of the site."
