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.

The two sites allocations closest to Pevensey Levels (BEX9 and BEX10) state that proposals will be permitted where "an Appropriate Assessment (AA) under the Habitats Regulations demonstrates beyond reasonable scientific doubt that these can be delivered on the site without harming the integrity of the Pevensey Levels Special Area of Conservation/RAMSAR site". For consistency and protection of the integrity of the Pevensey Levels, the requirement to carry out an AA, that demonstrates beyond reasonable scientific doubt that these can be delivered on the site without harming the integrity of the Pevensey Levels should be applied to the other three site allocations including; Policies BEX6, BEX7 and CAT1.
