Representation Summary:

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) welcomes the opportunity to comment on Rother District Council's Development and Site Allocations (DaSA) Local Plan.

We note that for four of the five allocations that are within the PLHCA the DaSA state that proposals will be permitted where "at least two forms of appropriate 'Sustainable Drainage' are incorporated in accordance with Policy DEN5 'Sustainable Drainage'". For one of the five allocations (CAT1) there is no mention in the DaSA of the PLHCA or sustainable drainage. For consistency the reference to sustainable drainage should be incorporated within Policy CAT1 also.
