Received: 06/12/2018

Respondent: Mrs Shirley Anderson

Legally compliant? Yes

Sound? No

Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

REPRESENTATION RAMSAR - BEX9

There is a comprehensive report by Mr G Lawson on the RDC website under RR/2017/1705/P dated 13.11.18 which provides the technical detail. This all relates to Ecology and the Pevensey Levels.

The Spindlewood site is unique amongst all the sites contained in the DaSA proposal as it is the only one that is so close to a RAMSAR/SSSI/SAC area and consequently demands significant levels of protection.

The information that the applicant has supplied does little to mitigate the adverse effects on the Pevensey Levels (RAMSAR/SSSI/SAC) via water borne pollution - it simply will not work and fail very quickly.

Such a scenario would be a breach of the Habitats Regulations and contravention of the People over Wind Court of Justice European Union Judgment 6292296 quite recently established in Ireland. (CJEU)

There should NEVER be any development on a site so close to the RAMSAR wetlands which would adversely affect this Special Area of Conservation.

In summary the applicant has not demonstrated sufficient grounds for you to consider the application. They WILL not provide the long term monitoring/maintenance to protect this land for and it will be destroyed for ever.
