Duty to co-operate? Not specified

Representation Summary:

REPRESENTATION BEX9 - SUDS

The applicant has not demonstrated they have seriously considered the impact of the polluting factors on the Pevensey levels Ramsar site. The answer probably lies in the fact they cannot due to the location of the existing areas that are protected. The applicant cannot provide the guarantee that no lasting damage will be incurred and quite simply are not interested in these factors. This application should have been turned aside long ago for these reasons.

Again there are technical submissions objecting to the application but I would summarise as follows -

In this case and at this location the effects on the watercourses and fluvial ecosystem of the Eastern part of the Pevensey Levels SAC, RAMSAR and SSSI WOULD BE disastrous. No amount of engineering could mitigate these effects to protect the Pevensey Levels.

This application should be refused.
